Guinea-Bissau president flees to Senegal after coup
Guinea-Bissau’s President Umaro Sissoco Embalo has fled to neighboring Senegal following a military coup that took place in the capital, Bissau. The coup, led by General Mane, has resulted in the military seizing power in the West African nation. President Embalo’s whereabouts were initially unknown after the coup, but it has now been confirmed that he sought refuge in Senegal.
General Mane, the leader of the military coup, has justified the action by citing corruption and inefficiency within President Embalo’s government as the main reasons for their intervention. The General has stated that the military aims to restore stability and ensure the well-being of the Guinean people.
On the other hand, supporters of President Embalo have condemned the coup, labeling it as a threat to democracy in Guinea-Bissau. They argue that the military’s actions undermine the country’s democratic institutions and the will of the people, as President Embalo was democratically elected in 2019.
Senegal, where President Embalo has sought refuge, has yet to make an official statement regarding his presence in the country. It remains to be seen how the international community will respond to the military coup in Guinea-Bissau and the subsequent fleeing of the President.
