The Bissau-Guinean president, Umaro SISSOCO EMBALÓ announced on Monday, March 3, during an exclusive interview with Agence France-Presse. His decision is driven by his desire to continue the reforms undertaken to strengthen the development and influence of Bissau.
A deep update that comes within a tense political atmosphere and after a tour around Europe and elsewhere where he met with his French president, Emmanuel Macron, and above all, Russian leadership, Vladimir Putin.
President EMBALÓ who ascended to power in 2020 constitutionally can seek another term to rule the Bissau- Guinean people who he has led diligently all these years.
It is worthy of note that the regional bloc, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) had dispatched a mission to mediate the electoral dispute. However, tensions escalated and president Embalo affirmed he was aware of their premature departure.
Mostly called a man called to serve, he has on numerous occasions shown his true attachment to his people.
