The army in Guinea-Bissau has taken control of the country. This happened a few days after a presidential election. The military has stopped the country's democracy and forced the president to leave.
In the election, both the current president, Umaro Sissoco Embaló, and his main opponent said they won. This created a big problem. Then, on Wednesday, soldiers appeared on television. They said the army was now in "total control." They stopped the election and closed the country's borders.
People in the capital city, Bissau, heard gunshots near government buildings. The president left the country and went to Senegal and then to Congo. The army quickly chose a new temporary president and a new prime minister.
Other countries and the United Nations are very unhappy about this. They say the army must bring back the country's normal government. They want the election results to be announced. This is not the first time the army has taken control in Guinea-Bissau, and it is a big problem for the country's future.
