Guinea-Bissau\u2019s deposed President Umaro Sissoco Embal\u00f3 has arrived in neighbouring Senegal following his release by military forces that toppled his government this week, Senegal\u2019s authorities have announced.<\/p>\n

It follows negotiations by the regional West African bloc Ecowas to secure his transfer amid rising tensions in Guinea-Bissau.<\/p>\n

Senegal\u2019s foreign ministry said in a statement that Embal\u00f3 had landed in the country \u201csafe and sound\u201d on a chartered military flight late on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The military in Guinea-Bissau has already sworn in a new transitional leader, Gen Horta N\u2019Tam, who will rule the coup-prone country for a year.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s coup came a day before authorities were due to announce the provisional results of a presidential and parliamentary election.<\/p>\n

The military has suspended the electoral process and blocked the release of the results.<\/p>\n

It said it was acting to thwart a plot by unnamed politicians who had \u201cthe support of a well-known drug baron\u201d to destabilise the country, and imposed a night-time curfew.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
