On July 20, disgruntled soldiers led by a young man later to be known as Saikou Manneh, who staged a protest against the government were disarmed, detained but later set free. The country's president, Jakali Sanneh, was away. Behind the country's State House docked a military ship by Babylonia. Their mission was a joint military exercise with soldiers of Kanan, so they claimed. Except that the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, President Sanneh, was not aware of this exercise.
