<p>In response to the recent political instability in Guinea-Bissau, the House of Representatives has passed a resolution urging the Federal Government to employ all necessary diplomatic measures to facilitate the safe return of former President Goodluck Jonathan</p>
<p>Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, the House Leader, brought the matter before the chamber on Thursday under a motion of urgent national importance. He reported that former President Jonathan, who was in Guinea-Bissau as part of an international election observation delegation, is currently unable to leave the country due to the coup d&#8217;état.</p>
<p>The House subsequently mandated the executive branch to take all appropriate steps to ensure his security and prompt repatriation.</p>

<p>Reports have it that hundreds of foreign observers who raced to the airport in a bid to leave the country after the coup was announced are currently stranded.</p>
<p>A group of military officers claimed “total control” of the country, a day after two leading candidates – President Umaro Sissoco Embalo and Fernando Dias – each declared victory.</p>
<p>Calling themselves the “High Military Command for the Restoration of Order”, the officers ordered the immediate suspension of the electoral process “until further notice”.</p>
<p>They also ordered the closure of all land, air and sea borders and an overnight curfew.</p>
<p>“I have been deposed,” Embalo told French broadcaster France24 in a phone call, adding that he was “currently at the general staff headquarters”.</p>
<p>The head of the main opposition PAIGC party, Domingos Simoes Pereira, has also been arrested, Haque said. “As well, we’ve just heard that the military is trying to cut off the Internet. There’s a curfew in place.”</p>
<p>He added that the army officer leading the coup, Denis N’Canha, served as the head of the presidential guard.</p>
