Portugal has expressed its desire to assist Guinea-Bissau in returning to normalcy following a military coup that occurred on November 26, 2025. According to a statement by a Portuguese official, the sovereignty of the Guinean people is the priority. The coup led to Guinea-Bissau’s suspension from the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP). Portugal’s offer of assistance signals a commitment to supporting the West African nation’s return to constitutional order. The nature of the aid was not specified in the report, but the intention is to help stabilize the country. This intervention comes amid concerns about political instability in the region.
