no one exactly knows but i suspect it is a self coup. both presidential candidates claimed victory but opposition won with supposedly 54% of the vote, so the army couped and arrested both. i suspect they will release embalo (the incumbent) and he will be declared the winner of the election.
Is there any information on the general, Horta N'Tam, who is currently the "transional leader" for the time being?
I saw a report stating that the transional period is meant to last a year, but I don't trust western reporting on the matter.
Obscure, but so was Traore. Usually you can "guess" if you look at their educational background - Morocco/France/West means that they are western puppets, local universities or Russia/China/Cuba means they tend to be sovereigntists. Or like the Madagascar coup leader who was part of an CIA training thingie, hilarious how some tried to dispute that as evidence for the grassroot nature of the one piece "revolutions"
Wikipedia (yeah I know) says General Horta Inta-A Na Man "attended a Soviet military academy, as he wears a badge on his uniform from his time in the USSR"
So that could be cool. But I think its just a wait and see situation.
I hope that's a good sign. More countries joining the AES revolution can oy help the anti-imperialist cause.
For now it's wait and see, but there's undeniably a chance that the 2020s become the decade of West African revolutions in a somewhat dominoe esc fashion.
I'm ignorant of the largest continent on Earth(, come on, Asia cannot be only one continent), but i took note of Amílcar Cabral, assassinated by the portuguese, and the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde. Their history books are different from ours.
Unknown but it could be coup a la Burkina Faso. Guinea-Bissau was ruled by revisionists communists turned "democratic socialist" aka neoliberals post-soviet union collapse. It was once a socialist country, with an anti-imperialist legacy. Though sadly it got quickly embroiled in a tug war between France vs the USA & the failed unifaction with Cape Verde along with racial tensions.
