Guinea-Bissau Army Detains Suspects Amid Security Forces Clashes


Police questioned them for several hours about a withdrawal of $10 million from state coffers, according to military intelligence.

The small west African nation of Guinea-Bissau has been politically unstable since 1974, going through four coups and several attempted coups.

Preisdent Umaro Sissoco Embalo, appointed two generals in September, Tomas Djassi and Horta Inta, as head of presidential security and chief of staff respectively.

The reinforcement of presidential security comes at a time when coups or attempted coups are multiplying in West Africa, including in Gabon, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea and, last week, Sierra Leone.
