Senegal’s Foreign Ministry says Umaro Sissoco Embalo arrived in the country a day after he was deposed in a military coup.

Guinea-Bissau’s deposed president, Umaro Sissoco Embalo, has arrived in Senegal, the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed, a day after a group of military officers in Guinea-Bissau seized power in a coup.

Senegal’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday night that Embalo had arrived in Senegal after authorities engaged with actors in Guinea-Bissau to try to secure his release.

Embalo reached Senegal on board an aircraft chartered by the Senegalese government, it said.

“The government of the Republic of Senegal reaffirms its readiness to work alongside ECOWAS, the African Union and all relevant partners, with a view to supporting dialogue, stability and the rapid restoration of constitutional order and democratic legitimacy in this brotherly nation,” the statement said.

Embalo was deposed on Wednesday after military officers announced they had seized “total control” of Guinea-Bissau ahead of the expected release of presidential election results in the West African nation.

Embalo had been vying for re-election against his main challenger, Fernando Dias. Both had declared victory ahead of the release of the provisional results.

But the main opposition PAIGC party was barred from presenting a presidential candidate, raising criticism from civil society groups, which said the election was illegitimate.

Dubbing themselves the “High Military Command for the Restoration of Order”, the military officers read out a statement on television on Wednesday, declaring that they had ordered the immediate suspension of the electoral process “until further notice”.

They also ordered the closure of Guinea-Bissau’s borders and an overnight curfew.

On Thursday, General Horta Inta-A was sworn in as the country’s transitional president, defending the military takeover by saying that there had been “sufficient [evidence] to justify the operation”.

But the coup – one of several to hit Guinea-Bissau since the country gained independence from Portugal in 1974 – has spurred widespread concern, including from regional bodies.

The chairperson of the African Union Commission condemned the situation earlier on Thursday, calling for the immediate and unconditional release of Embalo and all other detained officials.

Mahmoud Ali Youssouf also urged “all parties to exercise the utmost restraint in order to prevent any further deterioration of the situation”.

Faye better not get himself involved in this mess

He loss the election, instead of him to concede defeat after protest, he staged a fake coup while denying the rightful winner the opportunity to lead the country.

His allies are part of those appointed by the Coup leaders . Proxily, he's still ruling.

Who's lying here?, is it GEJ?.

Africa and criminal mindset.

If the conspiracy theory gaining traction about the coup is true, then I sorry for Africa.

Why the 'sit tight' & 'power glue' syndrome in Africa?

Truth is once it's not a bloody coup then Na arrangee. Facts

Nairaland is becoming stale. This a very old news now because it happened days ago.

Seun things shouldn't be like this here, you can do better.
Source for news as it breaks and update your platform. It makes Nairaland a better and reliable place to get news.

Back to the report: This is the time for Tinubu to assert Nigerian dominance in the sub region. Give the coupists two weeks ultimatum to hand over power to the rightful winner of the election and go back to their barracks or you'll send just two battalion to boot them out. This is one of the ways to play international politics. They are just 2.1 million in population.

This is how to earn respect, but no, he won't do it. Instead he will be eyeing loan to collect from that tiny country.

Fulani man lost power and refused to leave
He rather gave it to his military buddies

Wetin him dey find?Abi him dey find Peter Obi make him supply hin Drugs?

African mindset somehow sha

Guyman with the new format.

Oh Africa my Africa.

If there was unrest in Senegal would he come there for safety? Just because you would lose an election you created chaos.

Deposed or self deposed.

Someone that was rumored to have engineered the whole script.

The electoral body should have still announced the result.


The man just gave a wicked template to sit tight leaders.

Audio Coup made in Guinea Bissau.

What African would not do for power does not exist. In nigeria a man who forfeited drug proceed to Chicago court, this man has verifable certficate also seized power just because he has an information which they dont what him to spill.

His military loyalist will turn their backs on him very soon....

He must have learnt from azikiwe. Azikiwe did the same in January 1966. He thought he was smart but it backfires grandly against him and his tribe😜

Honestly, even Donald Trump would copy his homework (or at least attempt to).

Useless man. He staged a coup and fled

The people can only be fooled for as long as,
With time,they’ll realise that the power of the people is bigger than the people in power.

The bastard truncated democratic institution because of his own greed. Africa is cursed.

OBJ did it with one country like that ..what is Sao Tome and Principe. Their President came to visit. The army did coup. OBJ just called them direct and told them the President is coming back home, the coupists immediately relinquish the power and surrender themselves. That was when Nigeria was Nigeria

It's really sad how Nigeria has lost that respect even amongst small West African nations.
