Who is telling the truth here? Jammeh wants us to believe that he led the coup, while Edward is telling us that no one was assigned a role until after the execution of the operation. Please read and make your own judgement.

"They said as the group leader I should not negotiate with them and I should instead send somebody to negotiate with them. I told them that when Prophet Muhammad was leading a jihad he never took a back seat and therefore I would not to take a back seat. I want them to be responsible for the consequences of whatever might happen. So we negotiated and I told them to stop slinging their catapults at us because we were going to eat them alive." Yahya Jammeh
"And this was manifested in the fact that before we left Yundum [military barracks] and during the time that we were planning the military operation nobody was assigned any position. Jammeh was not made chairman of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council before we launched the military operation. And Sana Sabally was not made vice chairman at the time and I was not made minister of defence. These all happened after the military operation was successful. And then we saw the need to sit and chart the way forward for this country. That was when the distribution of positions came in." Edward Singhateh
"True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
