The Government of Angola on Thursday expressed its repudiation and total condemnation of the coup d’état carried out by the self-proclaimed Military High Command for the Restoration of National Security and Public Order of the State, in Guinea-Bissau, which took place on Wednesday.
In an official note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Angolan authorities express deep concern about the seriousness of the political situation in the sister country, highlighting the imperative need to guarantee full respect for Human Rights and the safeguarding of the physical integrity of all political personalities detained within the scope of the institutional rupture.
