"Attempted coup reported in Gambia" December 31, 2014
DAKAR, Senegal — Gunfire erupted overnight in Banjul, the capital of the West African nation of Gambia, and residents awoke Tuesday to find government buildings and the main bridge into town sealed off by fidgety soldiers.
The US Embassy confirmed an attempted coup, even as the Gambian government issued a vague statement that “peace and calm continue to prevail.” Gambia’s president, Yahya Jammeh, seized power 20 years ago.
Banjul residents said shooting began at 1 a.m. and most businesses were closed all day.

All I know about Gambia is they are anti-gay, and I doubt that is a reason for overthrow.
