Gambia’s Chief of Defence Staff, Ousman Badgie, on Friday said there “is not going to be any war or any fighting” as talks to convince Yahya Jammeh to cede power continues.
The Gambian Army Chief said West African leaders should continue to make a final attempt to convince Jammeh to cede power.
Badgie said, inviting thousands of Gambians who fled their country in fear of violence to return: “It’s a political misunderstanding; it is going to be solved politically, not militarily.
“Security is guaranteed 100 per cent.
“West African troops that crossed from neighbouring Senegal into Gambia to help unseat Jammeh would be welcomed with a cup of tea.”
