The West African nation of Guinea-Bissau has been thrown into turmoil after the army seized power, arrested President Umaro Sissoco Embaló, and shut down national institutions. Heavy gunfire was reported near the presidential palace as military forces took control, suspended the electoral process, and briefly closed the country’s borders and airspace. The coup comes just days after the disputed November 23 presidential election, deepening political instability in a nation long plagued by coups and drug trafficking. Regional and global bodies, including ECOWAS, the African Union, and the United Nations, have expressed concern and urged a swift return to constitutional order.

Whats wrong with Africans
Guinea Bissau, this is bad military takes over in the country
EMBALLO est un aventurier qui a organisé un coup contre lui- même. Une façon de concerver le pouvoir sans être Président. Les opposants africains sont tellement bêtes qu'ils croient que l'Occident aime l'Afrique. Emballo est tombé, vive Emballo!🎉🎉🎉🎉

U mean the criminal democratic process. That word is fraud and shouldn't be used anywhere in west Africa ever again. Say No to Democracy
Instability has been commone in Africa especially African countries that practices this fraudulent thing called democracy as those in power are not in control of their country's resources and they are only puppets to the west. We do not want that anymore in Africa. Africa wants to meet up a bit with advanced countries.
Afrika no more need Ecowas or UN or Europa an more..god bless Afrika god bless AES good Job Respekt
Weakness
What's wrong with Africans and their greed? What's wrong with them and their stupidity? Nobody in the world wants them but they still mess up their homes and remain homeless and income-less.
That wasn't a coup it was planned by the president 😂😂😂 because he lost the election
