The world is witnessing a growing trend of comebacks for ex leaders. Case in point here are Lula of Brazil and Netenyahu of Israel.
What has changed in global political landscape?

When corruption is systemic/endemic you cannot fight it with speeches or arrests but with sustained institutional reforms.

Adama Barrow & his entourage are still in town,collecting per diem, spending lavishly on hotels, while most of the world leaders who attended #UNGA jetted out of town. But someone said Gambia Dina dem diya kuya. He is more optimistic than I am.

My first primary school teacher died today. Mr. Kebba Jadama was the first volunteer teacher at Saba Primary when it was opened as a TESITO sch. in 1982. He taught many of us then without pay and has been teaching there since. May Allah have mercy on him and grant him Jannah.
