Guinea-Bissau: Many DEAD After COUP Attempt, President Says

The president of Guinea-Bissau has said he survived a coup attempt after being under heavy gunfire for five hours.

BBC News 2 FEB. 2022.








Soldiers could be seen patrolling the government palace area




Umaro Sissoco Embaló, a former army chief, was elected president in 2019





Umaro Cissoko Embaló said the attackers tried to kill him and his entire cabinet at the government palace.

He said many others had been killed in the fighting on both sides, but that he did not know exact numbers as he had been trapped "between fire and iron".

The attackers were linked to drug trafficking in the country, he said, without providing further details.

Gunfire erupted near government buildings on Tuesday in the capital of the West African nation, where the president was attending a cabinet meeting.

A security source, who did not want to be identified, told the BBC that gunmen in civilian clothes had opened fire and a police officer had been killed. Some initial reports also said that the cabinet had been captured.

Mr Embaló, however, said the attackers failed to break into the cabinet meeting.

"What I can guarantee is that the situation is under control," he said.

One of the poorest countries in the world, the former Portuguese colony has seen nine coups or attempted coups since 1980.

Struggling with a massive foreign debt and an economy that relies heavily on foreign aid, the country has also become a transit point for Latin American drugs, leading it to be dubbed by some as Africa's first narco-state.

Mr Embaló said the attackers were an isolated group, and that they were linked to drugs in the country.

"When I was elected president of the republic, I promised to [fight] two things: corruption and drug trafficking. And this is also linked to that, and I knew what the price was, but the fight continues," he said.

West African regional leaders described the incident as a coup attempt and urged troops to return to barracks.

Mr Embaló, a former army chief, won the December 2019 presidential election - but he faced a last-minute stand-off with parliament before taking office the following February.

Coups appear to be making a comeback in West and Central Africa. Over the past two years there have been military takeovers in Mali, Chad, Burkina Faso and Guinea, as well as further east in Sudan.

As events in Guinea-Bissau unfolded, the regional political and economic block Ecowas, as well as the United States, issued condemnations.

But one thing these coups is making clear is that there's very little international bodies can issue in the way of deterrents.

Ecowas has issued sanctions against Mali and Burkina Faso but they haven't stopped the wave of coups in the region. Guinea-Bissau has also been subject to sanctions over the last decade.

In a recent interview, the head of Ecowas' commission said that sanctions on Guinea-Bissau had been effective because they'd helped the country return to peace. That assessment now seems to have been premature.

Soldiers in the region have seized upon popular discontent with corrupt and ineffective governance to justify their actions. In Burkina Faso and Mali, their actions have been welcomed with joy from some parts of the population.


But analysts worry the democratic gains made in the region over the past two years are being undermined, and that what was once known as Africa' Coup Belt could well be earning that name again.
