The 2022 Gambian coup attempt was a military coup d'état attempt which took place in The Gambia on 20 December 2022. Reportedly, some soldiers attempted to overthrow the government of President Adama Barrow.[3] Four soldiers were arrested on suspicion of involvement.[4] The Gambian military initially denied that any such coup attempt took place.[5] It also went after three other alleged conspirators.[6] The coup leader was later named as LCpl Sanna Fadera. The attempt was condemned by Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the main opposition party, the UDP.[7]
UDP leader Momodou Sabally, who had served as the minister of presidential affairs under Yahya Jammeh, had suggested in a video released before the coup that Barrow would be overthrown before the 2023 Gambian local elections. He was arrested after the government foiled the plot,[8] but was later released unconditionally.[9] On 3 January 2023 the government charged two civilians and a sub-inspector of The Gambia Police Force for taking part in the plot.[1] Eight soldiers were later charged on 6 January.[2]
