Guinea-Bissau’s military arrested officers over a coup plot ahead of the November 23 election, citing threats to democracy.
Guinea-Bissau’s military arrested several senior officers, including Brigadier General Daba Na Walna, on allegations of plotting a coup just before the November 23 election campaign began.
The arrests, confirmed by Deputy Chief of Staff General Mamadu Ture, were described as a successful effort to prevent a threat to the constitutional order and democratic process.
The plot is linked to ongoing political tensions over President Umaro Sissoco Embalo’s continued rule, following conflicting claims about the end of his term.
This marks the second alleged coup attempt against Embalo since 2020, highlighting the West African nation’s persistent instability despite progress toward democracy since 2014.
