After Jammeh defeat, Gambia's jubilant exiles hope to head home
By Edward McAllister and Emma Farge DAKAR/BANJUL (Reuters) - Fatty Ousman watched all night as the results of Gambia's presidential election last week trickled out on social media. Stunned and elated by the defeat of veteran leader Yahya Jammeh, he believes it is finally safe to return home. Ousman is one of thousands of Gambians who left because of Jammeh's authoritarian 22-year rule, or sought work abroad as the economy sagged.
