Guinea-Bissau’s President Umaro Embalo Arrested Amid ‘Coup d’etat’

Guinea-Bissau was thrown into fresh turmoil on Wednesday after President Umaro Embalo announced he had been arrested inside the presidential palace in what he described as a “coup d’état” led by the army chief of staff. The president said no force was used against him, but several top officials—including the chief of staff General Biague Na Ntan, deputy chief of staff General Mamadou Traore, and Interior Minister Botche Cande—were also detained. Gunfire was reportedly heard near the National Electoral Commission headquarters as tensions escalated over Sunday’s still-unreleased presidential election results, which both Embalo and opposition candidate Fernando Dias de Costa have claimed to have won. Hours later, military officers declared they were taking “total control” of the country, suspending the electoral process, closing national borders, and imposing a curfew. General Denis N’Canha, flanked by armed soldiers, announced that a unified military command had assumed leadership “until further notice,” alleging a plot by drug traffickers to destabilize the nation. The events mark yet another chapter of instability for Guinea-Bissau, a country that has endured multiple coups and remains a key transit point for international drug trafficking.

Rain Forces Changes To 2026 Winter Olympics Flame Ceremony

Rainy weather has forced organisers of the 2026 Milan–Cortina Winter Olympics to move Wednesday’s Olympic flame-lighting ceremony from the ancient stadium in Olympia to the Archaeological Museum. The Hellenic Olympic Committee said persistent rainfall made it impossible to use the traditional outdoor site, where the flame is normally ignited at the 2,600-year-old Temple of Hera using the sun’s rays. Instead, a flame kindled during a sunny rehearsal on Monday will be used. The ceremony will be attended by new IOC president Kirsty Coventry, with Greece’s Petros Gaidatzis serving as the first torchbearer before the flame begins its relay ahead of the 2026 Games in Italy.
