Guinea-Bissau president flees to Senegal after coup
Guinea-Bissau president Umaro Sissoco Embaló has fled to Senegal after a military coup led by Gen Horta N'Tam. The military has suspended the electoral process, detained political figures, and imposed a curfew. The coup-prone country is facing rising tensions, and regional blocs like Ecowas and the African Union have condemned the coup, calling for a restoration of constitutional order.
