“This is an issue between Guinea-Bissau and Portugal, not with Cape Verde. I will not respond to that,” the President of Guinea-Bissau stated when questioned by journalists at the Government Palace in Praia.
The Government of Guinea-Bissau decided on Friday to expel the delegations of Lusa News Agency, RTP, and RDP from the country, suspend their broadcasts immediately, and order their representatives to leave the country by Tuesday. No reasons were provided for this decision.
“I will not say anything about Portugal in Cape Verde,” Sissoco Embaló reiterated.

The broadcasts were suspended as of today, and the representatives must leave the country by Tuesday, as decided by the Guinean government. No reasons have been provided for this decision.
