GUINEA-BISSAU - DEC. 1, 2025: The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has suspended Guinea-Bissau from its decision-making bodies in the wake of a military coup that ousted President Umaro Sissoco Embalo, according to a statement.

The decision of the bloc’s Mediation and Security Council (MSC) came after an Extraordinary Virtual Summit of Heads of State and Government held to discuss the current political situation in the country.

Chaired by ECOWAS Chairperson and Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio, the bloc expressed deep concern over the unfolding political crisis in Guinea-Bissau and urged the country’s armed forces to return to the barracks and maintain their constitutional role.
