Explosive Claim: Opposition Candidate Fernando Dias Accuses President Embaló of 'Fabricating' Guinea-Bissau Coup

The political crisis in Guinea-Bissau deepened dramatically as opposition candidate Fernando Dias leveled an explosive accusation: he claims that President Umaro Sissoco Embaló "fabricated" the military coup. Dias asserted that Embaló orchestrated his own "overthrow" to avoid acknowledging his likely defeat in the recent November 23rd presidential election, where both men had claimed victory. The Coup Details: On November 26, a group calling itself the High Military Command for the Restoration of Order announced it had seized control, closed borders, and suspended the entire electoral process—effectively nullifying the results of both the presidential and legislative polls. President Embaló confirmed on the same day that he had been "overthrown."
