Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Presidential adviser Saihou Mballow has asserted that Gambia\u2019s military will intervene in Niger to restore peace and democracy.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to President Barrow\u2019s adviser on political affairs, the Gambian military is \u201cwell-prepared\u201d and capable of participating in any sub-regional democracy and peace enforcement interventions in Niger.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, I am proud of our army. No one surpasses us (the Gambian military) when it comes to professionalism. I can say that they are intellectuals. They have everything and can serve anywhere,\u201d Mballow said in an interview with Teranga FM aired on Monday.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cSome of them served with the UN and ECOWAS. They underwent training all over and are well-trained. And they know how to serve internationally. That\u2019s why we say they are capable. They are going to go there and we\u2019ll make sure we restore democracy, peace and protect the people of Niger. They can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

ECOWAS Mandate <\/b><\/p>\n

Mr. Mballow said The Gambia is ready to intervene in Niger and the country only awaits a nod from the ECOWAS.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would do it(military intervention in Niger). Gambia is part of anything that ECOWAS…We will not do it without ECOWAS. We will not do anything behind ECOWAS but Gambia is going to be part of anything that ECOWAS signed. Gambia is going to be part of anything that ECOWAS is,\u201d he underlined.<\/p>\n

Gratitude <\/b><\/p>\n

He explained that ECOWAS was there for The Gambia throughout its political impasse in 2016 and therefore, said the time has come for the country to pay back.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho helped us when we had an impasse in 2016? ECOWAS.ECOWAS came and said don\u2019t fight. They said we are not here to kill or attack anybody but we want a peaceful transition so that the winner of the elections could be installed. It happened in other countries. Why not Niger,\u201d Mballow argued.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cDemocracy must be restored in Niger. The rights and freedoms of the people of Niger must be respected and restored. We cannot sit by and watch the civilians, the children and the women of Niger suppressed and oppressed. We will not do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
