BISSAU, November 26 (Xinhua) — Guinea-Bissau's armed forces announced on national television on Wednesday that they had assumed full power in the country and introduced a series of emergency measures.
The military, which declared itself the "High Command for the Restoration of National Security and Public Order," said the move was taken in response to the actions of certain politicians attempting to destabilize the situation in Guinea-Bissau.
Armed forces spokesman Dinis Ntchama announced on television that the military had taken control of Guinea-Bissau and that the ongoing electoral process was suspended immediately.
Other measures taken include the closure of government offices, the suspension of media activity, and the closure of all land, sea, and air borders. The military has imposed a mandatory curfew from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM local time.
According to local media reports, intense gunfire was heard around 1:00 PM local time near the presidential palace in the center of the country's capital, Bissau. Residents of nearby houses hurriedly evacuated their homes, after which the military took control of the main road leading to the palace.
