Gambia's MPs have lifted the country's state of emergency and dismantled defeated leader Yahya Jammeh's final attempts to cling to power.

Gambia's defeated leader Yahya Jammeh has agreed to relinquish power, after the threat by a regional military force to make him leave.

Gambia’s defeated President Yahya Jammeh must cede power by noon on Friday or be dislodged by a regional force that has already moved into the country.
