Guinea-Bissau’s military has installed General Horta Nta Na Man as transitional president for one year, a statement said, one day after they deposed the country's president in a swift power grab that followed a disputed election.
“I have just been sworn in to lead the High Command,” General Horta Nta Na Man declared, after taking the oath of office in a low-key ceremony at the military’s headquarters in the capital Bissau on Thursday.
