Guinea-Bissau faces profound misery following a military coup on November 26, deposing President Umaro Sissoco Embalo. This event, orchestrated by General Horta Inta-A, is widely seen as Embalo’s attempt to circumvent unfavorable election results.
Embalo’s “Embaloism” failed to curb corruption, increase wealth, or rebuild the economy. His tenure saw lavish foreign travel while public services declined. This situation reflects a broader rise in military takeovers across Africa.
