The United States, State Department has barred former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh and members of his immediate family from entering the United States.
The decision announced on Monday comes almost two years after Jammeh was forced into exile in Equatorial Guinea after he refused to concede defeat in a presidential election.
Jammeh ruled the tiny West African country for two decades. He lost a democratic election to Adama Barrow in December 2016.
However, Jammeh refused to step down, which prompted a military threat by the African Union and the West African regional body ECOWAS. He fled to Equatorial Guinea in January 2017.

The State Department said Jammeh is now being banned entry to the country under a category that applies to foreign government officials who are believed to have committed “significant corruption or a gross violation of human rights”.
In addition to Jammeh, his wife Zineb, and their daughter Mariam and son Muhammad are also being blocked.
The Barrow government reported that Jammeh stole at least $50m from the country while in office.
Jammeh, who attended a military training course in Alabama, owns real estate in Potomac, Maryland, about 24km from Washington, DC.
An estate previously owned by former American basketball player Calbert Cheaney, it was sold to the Jammeh family trust in 2010 for $3.5m, according to public records.

Hello dear, God does not hate man, what God hates is the sin in man There is a punishment for every sin and that punishment is death (Rom.6: 23). But Christ has paid the price for your sins and it will be wrong for you to die for the sins that Christ has already paid for. Have you been involved in Fornication, Adultery, Lying, Hatred, Backbiting, Cheating etc Christ has taken care of them. The only thing that you need to do is to accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and personal Saviour and take a decision not to go back to that sin. Are you ready to take that decision today or do you still want to pay for your sins? SAY THIS PRAYER: Lord Jesus I accept You as my Lord and personal Saviour, wash me with Your precious blood and give me the grace to Live a holy life. I declare that i am a new creature in Jesus name, Amen.
