Yahya Jammeh: 'a man with shifting personalities'

A close aide to President Adama Barrow says that the Gambian ex-ruler Yahya Jammeh has "plundered" the state's coffers before he flew into exile on Saturday. He left the country after two decades of autocratic rule. When he was in power, he denied allegations of torture and killing opponents. Fatou Camara was Jammeh's press secretary before falling out with him, being imprisoned and escaping to the US in 2013. She told 大象传媒 Newsday that Jammeh struck her as someone with multiple personalities.
