Soldiers overthrew Embaló's government last Wednesday, before the results of the presidential and legislative elections held earlier in the week were announced, continuing the political instability in this small, Portuguese-speaking nation.

Meanwhile, the largest opposition party reported that its headquarters in the capital, Bissau, had been stormed by an armed militia following the post-election coup that brought the military to power.

The army seized power on Wednesday, the day before the preliminary results of the national elections were announced. President Embaló initially fled to neighboring Senegal, but the military installed Major General Horta Inta as interim president on Thursday.

Guinea-Bissau, a West African coastal nation between Senegal and Guinea (Conakry), has experienced four coups and a series of attempted coups since gaining independence from Portugal in 1974. Election results there have long been contested.

The African Union suspended Guinea-Bissau's membership in its bodies two days after the coup.
