On November 28, 2025, former Guinea-Bissau President Umaro Sissoco Embaló fled to Senegal following a sudden political crisis in his home country. Embaló arrived in Senegal “safe and sound” aboard a chartered military plane, according to authorities. This move comes after an apparent coup that led to his ousting.
The political instability in Guinea-Bissau has raised concerns among neighboring countries and international observers. Soldiers in Guinea-Bissau have appointed General Horta N’Tam as the new interim leader, signaling a forceful transfer of power. The general announced that the military government would oversee a one-year transition period.
Opposition figures accuse Embaló of fabricating the coup to maintain control, adding to the tension. Embaló’s departure highlights the volatile situation in Guinea-Bissau, a country struggling with frequent political upheavals.
Regional leaders and international organizations are closely watching developments, hoping for a peaceful resolution. The situation remains fluid as events unfold rapidly.
