On Saturday, December 2nd, 2023, Guinea-Bissau’s President Umaro Sissoco Embalo officially confirmed that gunfire and clashes that had erupted in Bissau, the capital of the West African nation on Friday, December 1st, 2023 were elements of an attempted coup. President Embalo made this announcement after extensive consultation with security forces, confirming fears about the newest threat to democracy in the increasingly turbulent and coup-prone region of West Africa. Rumours of the attempted coup first broke out after clashes between the National Guard and presidential Guard special forces erupted in Bissau on Thursday night and continued on Friday after National Guard soldiers released two top government officials jailed in connection with a corruption investigation
Embalo, who was in Dubai attending the COP28 climate conference, arrived in Bissau on Saturday and revealed that it was the “attempted coup d’etat” that had prevented him from returning. “I can assure you that the events of December 1, 2023, are yet another attempted coup and those responsible will suffer serious consequences,” Embalo told journalists after arriving from Dubai. During a visit to the National Guard command in Bissau, Embalo further revealed that Colonel Victor Tchongo, the head of the National Guard, was the mastermind of the coup. Calm returned to the nation on Friday following the announcement that the army had captured Tchongo and the security presence in Bissau was reduced on Saturday, although soldiers remained visible surrounding key buildings such as the presidential palace, the judicial police headquarters, and various ministries. According to the President, Tchongo has been dismissed and “will pay dearly” for the attempt to depose him. “You are all betrayed by your commander … (and) this is why we advise you to distance yourself from politicians and do your service to the nation,” he told officers during his visit

I THINK this Coup attempts, I believe is a FAKE, because, about 2 weeks BEFORE Sierra Leone was talking about a coup even BEFORE it happened
He did all that his fool crazy clown he stole the power destroying country constitution and sick liar cloen kid shame to shole leadership
Do they pay these soldiers well? Do they get free informs, accommodation and stuffs they should be entitled to? It’s like some scums parade West Africa asking which country wants a military coup. If these presidents start to govern competently as patriots no one will want to remove them from power.
We Need young leaders in Africa who are going to create Jobs for Youth of our continent old leaders are puppet of white colonizers
They are not coups but revolutions. Democracy is not the only option although the West impose it on us. They do not have democracy in their own countries.
Las las Nigeria could be the next phase
these coups seem suspected like it could have the west involved aswell . like secret …just maybe….its all very suspect to me . as BRICKS has things to do after new year . good investigations with each effected country should be a joint investigation just encase …
If you with the west yo ass is out of there. Africa stand up🎯
They should not fail but succeed in wiping out the Western puppets indiscriminately. It would only spell good for the continent and its people in the long run. However, the coup leaders should be aligned with the wellbeing of its citizens just like in Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali. If they want to take over for the sake of greed then Africa is doomed.
If Leaders do not focus on their peoples needs, instead of engaging in corruption to please the Western powers to fill their pockets, they will be overthrown. African leaders should learn that the African agenda is about Pan_ Africanism. Be.vigilant, the struggle continues!
Is time to stop corruption government you don't care about is one people they don't have family even living in Africa
I can’t stand these BLACK DEVIL SELFISH PRESIDENTS 😡
Let geauxxxxxx 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🔥💕⚽
