Guinea-Bissau: General N'Tam named interim president after coup
General N’Tam was sworn in as Guinea-Bissau’s interim president during a brief ceremony guarded by heavily armed soldiers, a day after the coup that ousted President Umaro Sissoco Embaló. N’Tal, believed to have been a close ally of Embaló, now leads what the military calls a new command, after the former president was arrested and detained. With institutions suspended and events unfolding rapidly following recent elections, the country is facing a highly unstable and fast-moving political situation, as FRANCE 24's Caitlin Kelly explains.
