President-Elect Barrow himself had left for Senegal due to fear for this safety in the Gambia and had not even been able to return for the funeral of his 8-year-old son, who died unexpectedly during this period after being attacked by dogs.
A megválasztott Barrow elnök saját maga is a biztonságának féltése miatt elmenekült Szenegálba, és még nyolcéves fia temetésére sem tudott haza menni, aki ezalatt az idő alatt hirtelen egy kutyaharapás következtében halt meg.
