The African Union condemns the attempted coup in the Gambia – Al-Hiwar Algeria

The African Union condemned the attempted coup in the Gambia and reaffirmed its support for the Gambian government and people.

In a statement issued Thursday, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, expressed his strong condemnation of the attempted coup in The Gambia, affirming his rejection of any attempt to unconstitutionally change the government in The Gambia or in any other member country.

The Gambia government had announced that it had thwarted a military coup attempt on Tuesday, and had arrested four soldiers, confirming that it was in full control of the situation. While media reports reported that witnesses saw soldiers moving around the presidential residence in the center of the capital, Banjul, on Tuesday evening. The same sources spoke of “a coup attempt in the country.” “.
