Home safe after chaos of Gambia military coup


T H E A f r i c a n experience was not quite what teachers James and Joanna Rutter anticipated.


Caught up in a military revolution in The Gambia,


the couple experienced fear, relief and then chaos and frustration as events


unfolded around them. The holiday brochure


had warned them to expect vast differences in culture, attitudes and pace of life, but little did they know their ex-army truck safari tour into the West African bush would encounter the real thing. After running into mili­

serving boiled rice, but we were not too bad, although we were very short of staff. Airtours was bril­ liant. They put us on full board and gave us drinks and brought in extra reps,” Mrs Rutter added. Then followed several

Sawley, were among 1,500 British holidaymakers caught u|P in the military

delighted with the coup. They were very optimis­


tic, but I don’t know if it will come to much,” com­ mented Mr Rutter, safely


back at home. As soon as telephone


lines were reconnected, tourists queued to pass messages to anxious rela­ tives at home, developing a ring-round system in Britain to cut time and

Some 1,500 people were there, all trying to get out at the same time. We saw five big jets and numerous private ones. It was abso­ lute chaos.
