President Adama Barrow’s reneging on his promise to relinquish office at the end of a three-year transitional mandate sparked the 16 December 2019 demonstration staged by the ‘Three Year Jotna’ (tyj) movement. Despite the ensuing protests in early 2020 over the president’s decision, the country remained characteristically calm. With the 2021 presidential election at hand, and the dissolution of the coalition that brought Adama Barrow to power, there were new arrangements to form future alliances. The outbreak of Covid-19 in March caused changes in the budgetary allocations approved by the House of Assembly (ha). Funds were channelled from low-priority areas to augment the health sector, while the Foreign Ministry played a pivotal role in coordinating foreign assistance and procuring materials to address the problems presented by Covid-19. Meanwhile, the people anxiously awaited the benefits that the post-Jammeh era had in store.
