He never thought a day like this would come when Gambians will rise from slumber.

Yeah, he thought he would be life president.
Just like when Libyans rose up against Gaddafi it was unbelievable to him.

Lessons to all dictators, your days in power is numbered.

I'm against the sending of anybody especially to this needless war when WA (in this case Nigeria) could have easily sent judges over even if the judges had to give a "skewered" judgement in favor of Barrow (something they're used to already). Just imagine a Nigeria that can't protect its citizens from fulani herdsmen from Libya... Smh

Lol
So the fulani herdsmen are from Libya now

SMH for people comparing "Conventional warfare" to guerrilla warfare" employed by BH.

BH should have faced the Nigerian army in head on fight and we would have seen how superior they are to the NA.

Boko Haram held territory and repelled NA attack several places, several times. Your Nigerian Armed Forces of today is a joke, where everyone is motivated by the Nigerian curse of stealing as much money as possible to erect your own "Heaven". Nigeria is a joke!

You get that when the "Rules of engagement" are all muddled up because of the politicians and a period where most of the serving generals were appointed to please godfathers rather than competence.

Fast-forward to when they had a clear ROE and a C-in-C that knows about war/military engagements, they routed out BH from those territories.

As Nigeria Army Prepares To Go To War With Gambia, See Shocking Military Strength Of The Gambian Army

The Gambian National Army (GNA) had a strength of 1,000 personnel in 2013 (900 from the GNA, 100 from the Gambian Air Force). The GNA is made up of two infantry battalions, an engineering squadron, and smaller logistics, signals and intelligence units, plus the presidential guard company. The GNA has upgraded its equipment to provide greater firepower and mobility. It now has several armoured cars (two of which are based at State House) and heavier caliber vehicle-mounted weapons.


National Republican Guard

An amendment to the Gambia Armed Forces Bill in April 2008 included the creation of a new branch of the GAF, the National Republican Guard (NRG).

The NRG is thought to have a strength of 700 personnel, and is made up of a State Guard unit, a Special Forces unit, and a Presidential Guard unit.


Other branches

National Military Police (~400 personnel)

Gambian Navy (~250 personnel); 4 Hai Ou-class fast attack craft, 2 hovercraft and several small vessels, berthed at GNS Jammeh naval base.


Military manpower - availability


Available for military service, males age 16-49: 423,306. Females age 16-49: 438,641 (2010 estimate)

Fit for military service, males age 16-49: 315,176. Females age 16-49: 347,017 (2010 estimate)

Sukhoi Su-25 - 1
Air Tractor AT-802 - 2
