UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – The United Nations Security Council will meet on Monday to discuss the refusal by Gambia’s ruling President Yahya Jammeh to step down, diplomats said, a move the 15-member body condemned in a statement on Saturday.
U.N. political affairs chief Jeffrey Feltman will brief the council behind closed doors. Jammeh had quickly conceded defeat to Barrow after a presidential election on Dec. 1. But in an about-face on Friday that drew international condemnation, he denounced the results.
