Gambia's longtime leader Yahya Jammeh said on Saturday he would step down from power, in a statement that he read on state television. 'I have decided today in good conscience to relinquish the mantle of leadership of this great nation,' he said, wearing a white robe and looking tired. West African forces on Thursday invaded Gambia to force Jammeh, who lost an election in December, to relinquish power.
