The Presidential guard is dominated by the Jammeh's Jolla tribe and are likely to support him to the end.
However there are many army dissidents in Senegal and Guinea Bissau who are likely to lead the onslaught.
From Wikipedia, the Gambian army is made of 2 battalions and number less than 1100. That is such a small army, i think they would be overrun by UON students when on strike. The elite Presidential guard is a small squad of about 50. See the bigger Senegal force (Nigeria are also in it), the Gambian army chief has already indicated that there is no way he will fight ECOWAS force and he'd rather his soldiers surrender. Tells you that the Djammeh idiot is on its own.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
