Former Guinea-Bissau President Umaro Sissoco Embaló has left Dakar, Senegal, for Congo, a French media outlet has learned from a reliable source close to the ousted president.
He arrived in Brazzaville on the night of Friday, November 29, aboard a plane chartered by the Congolese presidency.
Upon arrival in Brazzaville, President Denis Sassou Nguesso welcomed him at his request. Umaro Sissoco Embaló, removed from office by a military coup, had initially sought refuge in Dakar.
This announcement comes just days after General Horta N'Tam, formerly Chief of Staff of the Army, was sworn in as President of the Transition and Head of the High Military Command to lead the country for a one-year term.
As a reminder, a group of officers in Guinea-Bissau announced on Wednesday that they had seized control of the country, thus ousting President Embaló.
