Gambian Army Chief Resigns Following Corruption Allegations

The head of Gambia's armed forces has stepped down after facing corruption charges that triggered widespread criticism across the West African nation. The resignation comes as Gambia continues to rebuild its institutions following decades of authoritarian rule under former President Yahya Jammeh, who governed the country through brutal dictatorship for over two decades before being forced from power in 2017. The corruption allegations against the military chief have intensified public scrutiny of the country's security forces as Gambia works to establish democratic governance and accountability.
