Some junior officers of the Gambian Armed Forces are accusing President Yahya Jammeh of trying to buy their superiors by promoting them. “ We are not happy with the President. If he thinks that these senior officers can save him from being replaced, then he is making a great mistake. Our men are very wild at this hour in the barracks. Our salaries had been stagnant for the past five years. How can he promote these officers, when they are not doing any serious work? We will get our promotion when we takeover the State House. From Gen. Tamba to the last officer, would be arrested that day. Oga must be very lucky if he survives. We are asking all our comrades to stick to the plans strategized for this day. We are doing all the donkey job and yet we are the least paid in the army. Oga should get ready. No backup troops can repel us. We want to end this discrimination in the army.” The disgruntled soldiers said in a statement sent to the Freedom Newspaper.
