Senegal’s Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and Nigeria’s former President Goodluck Jonathan claim the military’s ousting of Guinea-Bissau’s President Umaro Sissoco Embaló is a “sham” and not a genuine coup, suggesting it was staged. The military has halted the electoral process, alleging a plot to destabilize the nation. Embaló, now in Senegal, announced his own removal, while the African Union and Ecowas have suspended Guinea-Bissau following the takeover. Mixed public reactions include some support for the military’s actions amid concerns of chaos.
