🇬🇼 Guinea-Bissau junta head dismisses officer close to ex-president Embaló

General Horta N'tam, the leader of Guinea-Bissau's military junta, has dismissed Lieutenant-General Sadji Fati with immediate effect, according to a decree seen by AFP on October 15. Fati, a former defence minister and military adviser under ousted president Umaro Sissoco Embaló, had headed the presidential civil office at the palace.

The dismissal is the latest in a series of removals affecting defence and security officials linked to Embaló, who has been in exile in Morocco since the junta seized power on November 26, one day before provisional presidential and legislative results were due. The junta had said it would organise elections on December 6, but the National Electoral Commission said last week that conditions were not in place to hold the vote.
