Gambia Court-Martial Generals


 Gambian President Adama Barrow,  has said that two generals who fell out with former President Yahya Jammeh and returned home will be court-martialled. 

Barrow said, he remains concerned about the Gambia’s security situation but stressed that it was a learning curve for the country after over two decades of misrule and dictatorship by exiled former leader Yahya Jammeh.

Army chief Mansareh Kinteh said that Umpa Mendy, Jammeh’s principal protection officer, and the former head of the State Guards Battalion Ansumana Tamba were dissatisfied with conditions in exile hence their decision to return.

The two fled with Jammeh to Equatorial Guinea in January 2017. They sneaked back into The Gambia in January 2018 and were subsequently arrested at their respective homes and currently detained at the Yundum Military Barracks, where they are helping the military police with their investigations.”
