Military forces in Guinea-Bissau seized power a day before official presidential election results were due to be announced. The takeover follows a pattern of recent military interventions across the region. The African Union and the West African regional bloc ECOWAS have both condemned the coup. The timing raises serious concerns about electoral legitimacy, civilian safety, and institutional stability. Immediate implications could include regional diplomatic responses, sanctions, suspension of aid, and increased instability affecting governance and economic recovery. The situation risks deeper regional repercussions unless rapid de-escalation and mediation occur.
