France’s Foreign Ministry on Friday gave its full support to the Gambian government following the attempted coup in the west African country. "France strongly condemns the recent coup attempt against President Adama Barrow in The Gambia," the Quai d'Orsay said in a statement.
Gambian authorities said on Wednesday that they had foiled a military coup attempt the previous day, saying in a statement that four soldiers had been arrested and assured the situation was fully under control.
