The military junta that seized power in Guinea — Bissau has announced the formation of a National Transitional Council (NTC) to oversee the governing bodies of the country. This move comes in the wake of the recent coup that dethroned the democratically elected government.
The NTC, as announced by the junta, will be responsible for the management of state affairs and the organization of the upcoming general elections. The junta has not yet provided details regarding the composition or the specific roles of the NTC members.
Guinea — Bissau has a history of political instability and military coups, with the country experiencing a series of changes in leadership over the years. The latest coup followed the announcement of the election results, which sparked widespread protests and allegations of electoral fraud.
The establishment of the NTC is seen as a step towards restoring order and stability in the country. However, it remains to be seen how this new body will function and whether it will be able to address the concerns of the civilian population and the international community.
The United Nations and other international organizations have called for a return to constitutional order and the restoration of democracy in Guinea — Bissau. The NTC’s actions and policies will likely be closely monitored by these entities.
