He emphasized that the former president has no opportunity to return to power in The Gambia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJammeh was the president here yesterday. But today, I am the president. I don\u2019t know what the future holds,\u201d President Barrow said.<\/p>\n<p>The President issued a stern warning to Jammeh\u2019s supporters against engaging in unlawful activities. He stressed that any such actions by this faction of the APRC would be met with strict enforcement of the law. \u201cThe government will not continue to condone these actions. Anyone affiliated with Jammeh must accept this bitter truth,\u201d he said, adding that his administration would \u201ccrack down\u201d on anyone who deliberately violates Gambian law.<\/p>\n<p>President Barrow specifically addressed groups exploiting the country\u2019s democratic space, referencing those previously calling themselves the \u201cNo-to-Alliance.\u201d He warned that continued lawlessness would no longer be tolerated. \u201cWhatever activities you were doing against the law that we turned a blind eye to will not continue. Anything you do again that\u2019s not in line with the law, we will crack down on you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The president reiterates that while his government is committed to nurturing The Gambia\u2019s democratic system, it will not tolerate anyone acting outside the law. He urges the people of Foni to accept the fact that no government remains in power forever.<\/p>\n<p>Kaddy Camara, former National Assembly Member for Foni Berefet, also appealed to residents to refrain from instigating violence. She cautioned that anyone attempting such actions would face consequences and reminded locals that several Foni natives who died abroad during Jammeh\u2019s regime were denied burial rites in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
