Guinea-Bissau’s military installed General Horta Nta Na Man as transitional president on Thursday, an army statement said, a day after soldiers toppled the civilian leadership in a swift power grab that followed a fiercely contested presidential vote.
The self-styled "High Military Command for the Restoration of Order" announced in a televised statement on Wednesday that they had ousted President Umaro Sissoco Embalo, in the latest episode of unrest in the coup-prone country.
