His Excellency Sheikh Professor Dr. Alhaji Yahya Jamus Junkung Jammeh has been excluded from the official group photo of the ECOWAS Heads of State who are in Abidjan to attend the joint Japan - ECOWAS trade mission which is a follow-up to TICAD V held in Tokyo last June. The Japanese delegation comprising of Japanese businessmen is led by the Japanese Prime Minister
Alassane Dramane Ouattara will not have Jammeh in the photo because Gambia is the only country in the world that has refused to recognized the Ouattara government, yet he insists on attending the Abidjan meeting only to embarrass himself and his country.
