Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has strongly condemned the recent military takeover in Guinea-Bissau, describing it as a ‘ceremonial coup.’ He suggests that this takeover is more symbolic than substantive, lacking genuine change.
The coup occurred as the army seized power in the small West African nation, raising concerns among regional leaders and international observers. In response, ECOWAS expelled Guinea-Bissau from the community, signaling its strong disapproval of the military intervention. This decision was made during a virtual meeting of ECOWAS’ Mediation and Security Council, chaired by Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio.
This development has heightened alarm over the stability and future governance of Guinea-Bissau. Key political figures in West Africa, including Senegal’s Prime Minister and Nigerian leaders, have expressed skepticism about the military’s true intentions. The situation remains tense as diplomatic efforts continue to resolve the crisis.
Guinea-Bissau has experienced several political upheavals in recent years, and this latest event threatens to further destabilize the country. The international community is closely monitoring the situation to understand how Guinea-Bissau’s political landscape will evolve.
