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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear why the men returned to The Gambia or what they are specifically accused of.<\/p>\n

A year after taking office, President Adama Barrow is still working to consolidate control over Gambian institutions, including the military.<\/p>\n
