Undoubtedly, Umaro Sissico Embalo never misses an opportunity to settle accounts with presidents Alassane Ouattara and Alpha Condé.
During the extraordinary summit on Thursday, August 20 convened by the current President of ECOWAS, Mahamadou Issoufou, these two heads of state were supporters of the hard line and supported the adoption of strong measures against the putschists. Except that they also took it for their rank.
When he spoke, the winner of the presidential election in Guinea Bissau condemned the coup d’état that took place in Mali. But according to the new strongman of Bissau, ECOWAS should not be in variable geometry justice. “When we have to condemn a coup d’etat, we must do so without exception,” he reminded his peers.
Umaro Sissoco Embalo qualifies the third term projects as unconstitutional and according to him, the regional organization should show the same firmness against the carriers of such projects. These barely concealed allusions made his counterparts laugh.
For José Mario Vaz’s successor, it was about throwing stones in the garden of two men who were candidates for a third term and whom he accused throughout his march to power of having fought for the benefit of his challenger, Domingos Simoes Pereira.
