💨 Abstract

In Guinea-Bissau, President Umaro Sissoco Embalo dismissed Prime Minister Rui Duarte de Barros and appointed Braima Camara as his successor. The move is seen as a strategic effort to secure a second term in the upcoming November elections. Embalo's First-term length has been a source of controversy, with opposition and the courts offering conflicting views. Political tensions remain high, as a West African regional bloc mission to resolve the crisis was abruptly withdrawn following alleged threats.
