The Gambian army says it has arrested and is questioning two former generals who fled the country a year ago with the ousted president, Yahya Jammeh.

An army statement said Umpa Mendy and Ansumana Tamba were detained at their homes after unexpectedly flying home and are now being held in an army barracks.

It’s unclear why the men returned to The Gambia or what they are specifically accused of.

A year after taking office, President Adama Barrow is still working to consolidate control over Gambian institutions, including the military.
