Gambia: We Will Surrender, Gambia's Army Chief Says As ECOWAS Troops Advance by MrCyril(m): 10:36am On Jan 19, 2017 |
Gambia’s army chief, Ousman Badjie has said he would not order his men to fight African troops if they enter Gambian territory to enforce the December 1 polls. He spoke on Wednesday, January 18, as Senegalese and other Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) troops are stationed on The Gambia’s borders. The West African troops are on standby to move into The Gambia as President Yahya Jammeh approached a midnight deadline to step down or face military action after refusing to leave at the end of his term. “We are not going to involve ourselves militarily. This is a political dispute,” Badjie said, after eating dinner in a tourist district close to the capital, Banjul. He continued: “I am not going to involve my soldiers in a stupid fight. I love my men, we are not going to involve ourselves militarily. This is a political dispute… I am not going to involve my soldiers in a stupid fight. I love my men. “If they (Senegalese) come in, we are here like this,” Badjie said, making a hands up to surrender gesture. Meanwhile, the Senegal army spokesman Colonel Abdou Ndiaye said the Senegalese troops are on alert ahead of the expiration of Jammeh's deadline. “Our troops are on alert… The ultimatum takes effect at midnight,” he said. https://www.naij.com/1083422-gambian-army-chief-troops-surrender-ecowas-forces.html
