What makes you think that would turn out any better for The Gambia than it did for Libya?

One is by African standards, weed-level chill tiny river country with less people then Nebraska, the other is well, Libya. I mean the current dictator was 29 when he captured power and is literally bugfuck insane to the point that his own bodyguards tried to coup him. The army is literally smaller and worse equipped then the police force of the city I live in, if it ever gets to street killings levels Senegal is going to send a division to a light week-long stroll if only to deflect a refugee crisis. Seriously a well disclipined street gang could probably take over the Gambia if they really put their heart to it.

(I have relatives there)
