office after they tried to impose themselves on the people.

The Gambia’s Yahya Jammeh, who pledged Saturday to step down, is
one of a long list of African leaders forced out by coups, rebels or
popular uprisings.
Here is a list of former African leaders compiled by AFP that were

popular pressure, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali flees to Saudi Arabia with his
family after 23 years in power.

democratically-elected leader, the Islamist Mohamed Morsi, after large
demonstrations against his one-year rule.
5. IVORY COAST: On April 11, 2011 Laurent Gbagbo

Abidjan, during which the presidential residence is bombarded by UN and
French forces.
6. LIBYA: On October 20, 2011, dictator Moamer
