AGP Executive Report
Last update: 28 minutes agoElection Uncertainty: Guinea-Bissau’s prime minister says the December 6 presidential and parliamentary elections cannot go ahead, citing missed candidate-registration deadlines and party congresses still to be held. The electoral commission also says the timetable is no longer feasible. No new date has been announced, leaving the promised return to civilian rule after last year’s coup in doubt. Senegal is urging the military authorities to ease restrictions and agree on any change through inclusive dialogue. Vaccine Trial Controversy: A Danish university has approved a study in Guinea-Bissau involving 14,000 newborns, with half not receiving the hepatitis B vaccine at birth. The US CDC is expected to provide $1.6 million in funding.
