Guinea-Bissau's Ex-President Safe in Senegal

Guinea-Bissaus former President, Umaro Sissoco Embaló, has safely arrived in Senegal following his removal by military forces. This transfer was facilitated by ECOWAS amidst growing tensions. The military has sworn in a new transitional leader, General Horta NTam, and suspended the electoral process. The coup was justified by allegations of a plot to destabilize the nation, involving a drug baron. The African Union and ECOWAS have condemned the coup, adding to Guinea-Bissaus history of coups since gaining independence in 1974. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
