City, State/Country – Di wahala no go end for Guinea-Bissau o! Just like dat, dem dey talk say President Umaro Sissoco Embaló don jam passport for Senegal after military boys carry him go house (no be small matter!). This one happen after dem forcefully clear am from power dis week, according to Senegalese government wey sabi wetin dey happen.
Sabi say di whole thing begin when di military jacked power one day before dem supposed release di election results wey people don dey waka about. And just like magic, Gen Horta N’Tam don dey run di show now as di new transitional leader. Na wetin nobody fit predict be dis one o!
Di Senegal Foreign Ministry come drop statement wey confirm say Embaló don land ‘safe and sound’ – no be joke o! Dem use chartered military flight carry am for late Thursday. As di military don swore in dis new general, e come be like say di coup matter don enter serious level.
But wetin cause di coup? Di military wey dey hungry for power talk say dem act to stop plot from some ‘well-known drug baron’ with politicians to scatter di country (and no be small names dey ground). As dem don close land, air and sea borders, even night curfew don land for citizens. Talk about tension, my guy! Di whole Bissau dey like airport wey don close, shops and markets don lock-up!
And for di other side, di main opposition candidate, Fernando Dias, wey suppose enjoy victory wahala, don dey shout say na Embaló dey organize di coup. Dem don arrest some people wey dey run for primaries, including Domingos Pereira wey no fit even contest as di military dey flex muscle.
Di international gents dey vex for di coup, as ECOWAS don send them letter to call off di military and return civilian rule. Di African Union also dey complain say dis one no be correct. Dem confirm di wahala say Guinea-Bissau go suffer till dem restore order.
Sabi say since 1974, whenever elections dey come, na so dem dey hold party for coup palava. As dis one don be, many don dey look am like movie wey no go end well. C’mon, people don dey say Guinea-Bissau dey turn to one long-time drama series with military as e get many coup stories for di past.
As Bissau dey try return to normal life, markets don start dey resume small-small but fear still dey inside di air. Di locals dey talk say dem don tire for di chicken race wey dey happen. Dis na a chance for di military to still shine, but fingers crossed for dem, as e fit spark more wahala as political tension dey rise again!
