Guinea Bissau: A man without a mandate

Umaro Sissoco Embaló was officially without a mandate on the 27^th February 2025. The last term of the President began on the 27^th February 2020 and his term is up. There been no Presidential Elections or polls for that matter.

We already know that the President doesn’t want a “crook” to takeover from him. However, that doesn’t imply that he holds on to the instruments of the state and the office itself. It is for the citizens of the Republic to decide if they want to keep him there or elect someone else.

It is really something else when the Republic itself is scheduling Presidential Elections in November 2025. When the President and the State itself know the mandate or the Term has already ended. It is giving the President more months to be in office and use the powers of the office he resides in.

This is also really something knowing how Embalo was claiming his predecessor Vaz had a “coup d’etat” and planned for his loss in the 2019 elections. As the PAIGC versus the Madem G15 went head to head in two rounds before it was settled. The incumbent party PAIGC bowed out and let their candidate Domingos Simões Pereira accept the defeat.

Embaló is now pushing to overstay in office, as he hasn’t a successor or any sort of “Plan B”. No, there is no proof of what he wants. We can only see that his a vagabond and using the office for questionable profiteering. The administration of the President is known for being a hub for drug trafficking and other criminal conspiracy. That’s what the Osvaldo Vieira International Airport has become synonymous with.

We are now seeing a heist of a nation from a man that was supposed to change the nation. Alas, he takes the nation for granted and willing to risk the stability of the Republic while doing so. We should expect human rights violations and up-right oppression in the name of the President. A Head of State that is living on others people’s borrowed time.

The President should know his time and hour. The handlers and state apparatus can claim he started his term late, but there is documentation of him starting in February 2020. Therefore, the President should do the noble thing, but we know that won’t happen.

The people of Guinea-Bissau deserves better than this. What sort of trickery is this? Who does the President think he is? Does he thinks all the civilians and the people are foolish? He think he can silence them all and keep them entertained with his foreign adventures? Seriously, is this who the President is? Peace.
