Reports from Gambia say Economic Community of Waest African States (ECOWAS) coalition forces who have been on stand by in Senegal have moved into Gambia with a view to securing strategic positions. According to journalist and Human Rights activist, MamaLinguere Sarr, there was a standoff as soldiers at the State House negotiated to hand over to the ECOWAS forces after arrival..

Civilians who gathered outside the presidential palace were reportedly in support of the ECOWAS forces and angry with the soldiers for supporting former president Yahya Jammeh before his exile and also urged them to open the gate for the troops to take control ahead of the new president, Adama Barrow's arrival from Senegal.

The Palace Guards should know that once their Oga don go exile, their job is over.

If dem no gree, make ECOWAS Forces deal with them.

If Jammeh had actually fled the country, the ECOWAS ought to have seen their goal as being achieved and stop further incursion.

By the way in order to exhaust the budget for the purpose they have to throw caution into the wind.

Try and use your head ..what is ECOWAS doing there when the issue has been resolved and Jammeh has left ..Baroque doesn't need the ECOWAS troops , all he needs to do is take control of his troops because he is their new leader

ECOWAS should not use force for the betterment of the region.

Those calling for force should know that Gambia is a sovereign state. Don't let ignorance kill you.

They (ECOWAS troops) are acting on the orders of the president of that state, with the backing of the people.

Both sets of soldiers are doing the right thing.

They both need orders from their respective commanding officers before standing down.

Military is about discipline.

OK. I heard it was through bola tinubu's private jet that jammeh carried his loot
then I was wondering if a president has no private jet but a common ex governor has a private jet. this indicates that Nigeria is in a mess and fantastically corrupt
and what is ecowas forces still doing in Gambia I thought jammeh is now on exile and Adama borrow is the new generalisimo. OK maybe ecowas is fantastically corrupt
