In Guinea-Bissau, General Horta Inta-A, the new military ruler, has moved quickly to consolidate his position following the overthrow of President Umaro Sissoco Embalo. Just a few days after the coup, Inta-A appointed the previous finance minister, Ilidio Vieira Te, as the new prime minister. The decision came amid growing international criticism of the military coup that has rocked the West African country’s political landscape.
The international community reacted promptly to the events in Guinea-Bissau. The African Union suspended the country with immediate effect, while the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) excluded Guinea-Bissau from all decision-making bodies. The United Nations and the European Union also condemned the coup as an unacceptable breach of democratic principles and called for a rapid return to constitutional order.
The coup came shortly before the expected announcement of the preliminary results of the presidential election, which pitted Embalo against his main rival Fernando Dias. Both candidates had already declared their victory before the results were published. Dias claimed that Embalo organized the coup to prevent his own deselection. These allegations were supported by former election observers, including former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.
Calm returned to the capital Bissau on Friday after the new military government lifted a nighttime curfew. People returned to their daily activities as markets and banks reopened. Despite the tense political situation, many citizens hope that the situation will stabilize soon. However, the international community remains vigilant and continues to call for the release of all those detained during the coup and the restoration of constitutional order.
