Update: 2025-11-28
Description
In Guinea-Bissau, a military coup led by the High Military Command for the Restoration of Order has ousted the civilian leadership, installing Major-General Horta Inta-a as transitional president. This move follows an intervention by the West African regional bloc and comes amidst ongoing instability in the region, known for its role in cocaine trafficking and military involvement in politics. The military claims the coup was necessary to prevent drug traffickers from taking over democracy, while international bodies condemn the action and call for the restoration of constitutional order.
