Guinea-Bissau, among the world’s poorest countries, continues to grapple with repeated coups and instability, reflecting the country’s fragile democratic institutions and the legacy of decades of political unrest.
Guinea Bissau is getting calmer after the coup as public and private transportation are operating normally, with some taxis and motorcycle taxis running. Markets are open, with some traders selling their products, though fewer customers are present. Public institutions are closed, except for hospitals and health centers, as well as schools, due to concerns among those in charge.
Despite restrictions being lifted, only government offices are open. Private institutions are also open but have fewer staff. Gas stations are operating normally, with some vehicles filling up. Guinea-Bissau has further descended into political chaos after a disputed presidential election was quickly followed by a controversial coup.
