On 30 July 1981 there was a left-wing coup attempt against the government of President Dawda Jawara, which lasted less than a week before being thwarted by the intervention of Senegalese troops. The plotters had managed to gain control of the whole country for those few days though, including state broadcaster Radio Gambia, which they, in the usual fashion, described as "the voice of the revolution".
Swedish radio enthusiast Goran Carlsson has donated an audio clip of the rebels on the air in English, with the usual "Long Live the Revolution" and "Long Live the Struggle" sloganizing and urging the population to "gather behind the Supreme Council of the Revolution".
