10 ex-African presidents and their lives after leaving office

Yahya Jammeh – The Gambia

The former Gambian leader who ruled the West African country for 22 years, ceded power to current President Adama Barrow in January 2017. Right after flowing out to Equatorial Guinea, where he is in exile, speculations were rife that he could take to farming just like his other former colleagues. This was followed by pictures of him on a farm in the Central African country clearing the land. He was seen walking, weeding and observing the farm. It is, however unclear if he would go back to full-time farming and what type of farming he would venture into.
