Photos: Gambians celebrating inauguration of Adama Barrow

Several Gambians took to the streets to celebrate the swearing-in of President Adama Barrow on television live from Senegal, even as African troops approached.

Young men shouted and sang while hanging out of cars, as children danced with their mothers on main roads near to the capital, Banjul, where the long-serving leader Yahya Jammeh was believed to remain despite the expiry of his mandate.
