Military officers in Guinea-Bissau “announced Wednesday they were taking ‘total control’ of the country while suspending its electoral process and closing its borders, three days after the poverty-stricken West African nation’s legislative and presidential elections.”
Earlier in the day, “gunfire was heard near the coup-prone country’s presidential palace as men in military uniform took over the main road leading to the building.”
Military personnel “made the announcement by reading a statement at army headquarters in the capital, Bissau, AFP journalists observed on the scene.”
