Senegal and Nigeria political figures criticize Guinea-Bissau coup, labeling it a 'sham'. The military's move to seize power has been met with skepticism from leaders demanding the release of election results. Former President Umaro Sissoco Embaló, reportedly ousted by the military, has not commented on the allegations. The African Union and Ecowas have suspended Guinea-Bissau following the military takeover.
