A
state of emergency has been declared, and yesterday the parliament extended his
term for three months - even though today should be his last day as president
following elections last month which he lost.

The
BBC’s Umaru Fofana is at the airport and snapped some of the queues as Thomas
Cook said it was evacuating about 1,000 tourists on package holidays.
About
1,600 Dutch citizens are also to be flown home from The Gambia today, reports
the BBC’s Anna Holligan from The Hague.
The travel firms TUI and
Corendon are sending a total of eight flights to collect them.
