Golpe de Estado militar en Guinea Bissau, arresto del presidente y elecciones suspendidas

2 min read

Militares de Guinea-Bisáu anunciaron este miércoles que tomaron el "control total del país", detuvieron al presidente saliente y suspendieron el proceso electoral en marcha tras los comicios del domingo.

Guinea-Bisáu, un país del Oeste de África, ha sufrido cuatro golpes de Estado desde su independencia de Portugal en 1974, además de una serie de intentos de golpe.

A mediodía del miércoles se escucharon disparos cerca del palacio presidencial en la capital, Bisáu, y hombres vestidos con uniformes militares tomaron el control de la arteria principal que conduce a esta residencia.

Por la tarde, el general Denis N'Canha, jefe de la casa militar de la presidencia, anunció en la sede del Estado Mayor que un "Alto Mando para la restauración del orden, compuesto por todas las ramas del ejército" había tomado "el control del país hasta nuevo aviso", constataron periodistas de AFP presentes en el lugar.

Una fuente oficial del ejército indicó a la AFP que el presidente saliente, Umaro Sissoco Embalo, fue detenido el miércoles "en la prisión del cuartel general".

Otra fuente militar confirmó la detención del presidente Embalo junto con el "jefe del Estado Mayor y el ministro del Interior".

Este golpe se produce después de que cerca de un millón de electores fueron llamados a las urnas el domingo, en unos comicios celebrados sin la presencia del principal partido de la oposición y su candidato.

Los resultados provisionales oficiales se esperaban para el jueves.

El general Denis N'Canha también anunció la suspensión de "todo el proceso electoral", el cierre de las fronteras "terrestres, aéreas y marítimas" y la instauración de un "toque de queda obligatorio".

Al final del día, las calles de Bisáu estaban desiertas y los militares tomaron el control de todas las arterias principales, pudieron constatar periodistas de AFP.

Pictures Key Facts “One Battle After Another” boasts a nearly perfect 97 out of a possible 100 on Metacritic based on its first 31 reviews, making it the highest-rated movie of this decade on Metacritic’s best movies of all time list. The movie also has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on the first 56 reviews, with only two reviews considered “rotten,” or negative. The Associated Press hailed the movie as “an American masterpiece,” noting the movie touches on topical political themes and depicts a society where “gun violence, white power and immigrant deportations recur in an ongoing dance, both farcical and tragic.” The movie stars DiCaprio as an ex-revolutionary who reunites with former accomplices to rescue his 16-year-old daughter when she goes missing, and Anderson has said the movie was inspired by the 1990 novel, “Vineland.” Most critics have described the movie as an action thriller with notable chase scenes, which jumps in time from DiCaprio’s character’s early days with fictional revolutionary group, the French 75, to about 15 years later, when he is pursued by foe and military leader Captain Steven Lockjaw, played by Sean Penn. The Warner Bros.-produced film was made on a big budget, estimated to be between $130 million and $175 million, and co-stars Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
