Wanajeshi wa Guinea-Bissau wamemuapisha, Jenerali Horta Nta Na Man kuwa kiongozi mpya wa mpito wa nchi hiyo kwa kipindi cha mwaka mmoja leo Alhamisi, Novemba 27, 2025, , siku moja baada ya mapinduzi na kukamatwa Rais Umaro Sissoco Embalo wa nchi hiyo, wakati matokeo ya uchaguzi wa kisiasa yalipokuwa yanakaribia kutangazwa.
Jenerali Horta Nta Na Man ameapa katika hafla iliyofanyika makao makuu ya kijeshi huku askari wenye silaha nzito wakihudhuria na kuimarisha usalama katika eneo hilo.
Jumapili iliyopita, siku moja baada ya wagombea wawili wakuu katika uchaguzi wa rais kutangaza washindi, kundi la maofisa wa kijeshi liliweka wazi kuwa limechukua "udhibiti kamili" wa nchi.
Waliitwa “Kamanda Mkuu wa Kijeshi kwa Urejeshaji wa Amri” na kupitia televisheni walitangaza kusimamishwa mara moja kwa mchakato wa uchaguzi “hadi itakapotangazwa vinginevyo”.
Rais Embalo aliondolewa madarakani katika kipindi kingine cha machafuko katika nchi inayokumbwa na mapinduzi mara kwa mara. Matokeo ya muda yalitarajiwa kutangazwa kati yake na Fernando Dias, mpinzani wake mpya kisiasa.
Jumapili, mji mkuu Bissau ulikuwa kimya, huku wanajeshi wakiimarisha usalama barabara na wakazi wengi wakiendelea kubaki ndani ya nyumba zao licha ya kuondolewa kwa marufuku ya kuondoka usiku.
Hayo yalijiri wakati biashara na benki zilikuwa zimefungwa.

“I have just been sworn in to lead the high command,” General Horta Nta Na Man declared, after taking the oath of office in a ceremony at the military’s headquarters on Thursday, AFP journalists observed.
Having served until now as the chief of staff of the country’s army, Nta Na Man is considered to have been close in recent years with President Umaro Sissoco Embalo, who was deposed on Wednesday.
He said evidence had been “sufficient to justify the operation”, adding that “necessary measures are urgent and important and require everyone’s participation”.
The African Union (AU) Commission chairperson on Thursday condemned the military coup and called for the immediate and unconditional release of Embalo and all detained officials, the AU said in a statement.
Military officers, referring to themselves as “the High Military Command for the Restoration of Order”, said in a televised statement on Wednesday that they had ousted Embalo, in the latest episode of turmoil in the coup-prone country.
It came one day before provisional results had been expected to be announced in the race between Embalo and Fernando Dias, a 47-year-old political newcomer who had emerged as Embalo’s top challenger to run the West African state, which is a hub for cocaine trafficking.
On Thursday, the capital, Bissau, was mostly quiet, with soldiers on the streets and many residents staying indoors even after the overnight curfew lifted.
