Guinea-Bissau’s military leaders on Thursday announced a ban on demonstrations as they eased some restrictions implemented since taking power a day earlier, including lifting a nighttime curfew.
“Previously imposed measures” that additionally included traffic restrictions, “are lifted as of midnight today”, the military’s newly installed High Command said, adding that it “strictly prohibits any demonstration, march, strike or action that disrupts peace and stability”.
The command additionally reported that President Umaro Sissoco Embalo, who was arrested Wednesday, was in “good health”.
