Meanwhile, Gambian Army at Command Centre Kanilai are joining ECOWAS forces to remove President Yahya Jammeh.

This is coming as troops from Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Mali and Togo massed at the borders of Senegal, waiting for a green light to intervene and unseat Jammeh, who according to the constitution is no longer the country’s legitimate ruler.

It was also gathered that Gambian soldiers have withdrawn from strategic areas near the country’s borders with Senegal as ECOWAS soldiers prepare to move in.
