On the afternoon of Wednesday 26 November, a body styling itself the “High Military Command for the Restoration of National Security and Public Order” announced that it was ousting President Umaro Sissoco Embaló, taking “full control” of Guinea-Bissau, halting the electoral process and closing land and air borders.

A curfew was also imposed. The announcement was made in a statement read at armed forces headquarters in the capital by Brigadier General Denis N’Canha, head of the presidency’s military office.

Guinea-Bissau's President Umaro Sissoco Embaló told Jeune Afrique that he was arrested this Wednesday, 26 November, at around 1pm while he was in his office at the presidential palace.

The presidential election took place last Sunday, and the outgoing president said he had won with 65% of the vote, by his own count.

Also arrested were the armed forces’ chief of staff, General Biague Na Ntan; the deputy chief of staff, General Mamadou Toure; and the interior minister, Botche Cande.

Disputed poll exposes deeper fault lines

The fallout reflects Guinea-Bissau’s long-running institutional fragility. Embaló, who has repeatedly clashed with parliament and dissolved it in 2022, entered the poll as the favourite, not least because the country’s main opposition force, the PAIGC, and its leader Domingos Simões Pereira were barred from participating.

But the unexpectedly competitive performance of Fernando Dias de Costa fractured the political narrative, with both camps moving swiftly to claim victory ahead of the electoral commission’s announcement.

The arrests signal a dramatic rupture between the presidency and the military hierarchy, long regarded as the ultimate arbiter of political power in Guinea-Bissau. Analysts say this moment was years in the making.

Embaló’s efforts to centralise authority, reshape the security services and marginalise political rivals deepened mistrust within both the political class and armed forces. His insistence on pre-emptively declaring victory, coupled with alleged pressure on institutions to validate his figures, appears to have triggered a decisive pushback from factions within the army.

Domingos Simões Pereira arrested

On Sunday the vote passed off calmly, but without the main opposition leader, Domingos Simões Pereira, who had been barred from standing. His party – the powerful African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) – had nonetheless thrown its weight behind Fernando Dias.

Reached by Jeune Afrique on Wednesday, Domingos Simões Pereira said he was “in a meeting with African Union observers, including [former Nigerian president] Goodluck Jonathan, when someone came to tell us there was gunfire in the city centre”.

He added that, from what he was later told, soldiers tried to force their way into the electoral commission’s offices “to force its chairman to read out results naming Umaro Sissoco Embaló as the winner”, even though, he insists, “Fernando Dias, the candidate we back, won outright in the first round”.

Since then, according to a source close to the two opposition figures, Domingos Simões Pereira and Fernando Dias have been arrested by armed men and taken to the air base.

Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, has been ordered to start serving his 27-year sentence in a 12 sq metre bedroom in a police base in the capital, Brasília, after his conviction for plotting a coup.

The far-right populist, 70, who governed Latin America’s largest democracy from 2019 until 2022, was handed the punishment in September after the supreme court found him guilty of leading a criminal conspiracy to stop his leftwing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, taking power.

The plot – which involved a plan to assassinate Lula and his running mate, Geraldo Alckmin – foundered after military chiefs refused to take part and the court later convicted Bolsonaro and six accomplices of trying to “annihilate” Brazilian democracy and plunge the country back into dictatorship.

On Tuesday, the supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes ruled that Bolsonaro should start serving his sentence after the case formally ended following a period for appeals. Bolsonaro has been living under house arrest since August and was taken into preventive custody on Saturday after unsuccessfully trying to cut off his electronic ankle tag with a soldering iron.

Bolsonaro’s six co-conspirators were also ordered to start their sentences.

The former defence minister Gen Paulo Sergio Nogueira de Oliveira, and the former minister for institutional security Gen Augusto Heleno were arrested and imprisoned in the Planalto Military Command in Brasília. They received sentences of 19 and 21 years respectively.

The former navy commander Adm Almir Garnier Santos, who received a 24-year sentence, was reportedly arrested by navy officials and held on a navy base.

Bolsonaro’s former defence minister, Gen Walter Braga Netto, who received a 26-year sentence, was already in custody having been arrested last December.

The former justice minister, Anderson Torres, who received a 24-year sentence, was expected to be sent to a penitentiary for police officers and other “special” prisoners in Brasília called Papudinha.

Camila Rocha, a political scientist who studies Brazil’s new right, said recent polls revealed a clear decrease in support for Bolsonaro – both in the streets and social media. One study found that only 13% of voters now supported Bolsonaro “no matter what”. Last month, a rally in Brasília organized by Bolsonaro’s family drew about 2,000 people – far smaller than the huge crowds the former president mobilized when at the peak of his powers.


“Could there be more protests? Sure. But I think this declining trend is established,” said Rocha, who saw Bolsonaro in “a dead-end situation”.

Rocha believed Bolsonaro’s arrest was good news for the rightwing politicians hoping to inherit his votes, as well as for voters hoping to see “a reduction in anti-democratic extremism” in Brazil.

Not all of the pro-Bolsonaro schemers sentenced over the coup could be imprisoned on Tuesday. Ramagem, the former head of Brazil’s intelligence agency, Abin, recently skipped the country despite having his passport cancelled.

In fairness, anyone alive that's 100 years old or older at this point still predates the start of World War II by over a decade. While the last data was from 2024, there are an estimated 700,000+ people aged 100 or older in the world. Just on pure statistics there's bound to be some Jews in that group.

The head of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces said late on Monday that his paramilitaries would immediately enter into a three-month humanitarian truce, after US President Donald Trump said last week that he would intervene to seek an end to a war that has plunged the country into famine.

The United States, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Saudi Arabia – known as the Quad – earlier this month proposed a plan for a three-month truce followed by peace talks. The RSF responded by saying it had accepted the plan, but soon after attacked army territory with a barrage of drone strikes.

Monday's statement appeared to announce a unilateral ceasefire. It came a day after Sudan's army chief rejected the Quad's proposals, and criticized the inclusion of the United Arab Emirates, which has been widely accused of arming the RSF, as a mediator.

The Gulf state has denied such accusations and said it aims to stop the war.

IIRC the reason why he was named that is because when he was born the news there hadn't quite caught up to current events, so all that his parents knew is that Hitler was a famous leader but they didn't know WHY he was famous, leading to the existence of this unfortunate bastard geg
