- The military's takeover and the subsequent appointment of General N’Tal as the new leader highlight the fragility of Guinea-Bissau's democratic institutions and raise concerns about the future of governance in the country, particularly following the recent electoral disputes.

The recent events underscore the challenges faced by the nation in achieving political stability and the potential for further unrest as the military consolidates power.
