no one exactly knows but i suspect it is a self coup. both presidential candidates claimed victory but opposition won with supposedly 54% of the vote, so the army couped and arrested both. i suspect they will release embalo (the incumbent) and he will be declared the winner of the election.

Is there any information on the general, Horta N'Tam, who is currently the "transional leader" for the time being?

I saw a report stating that the transional period is meant to last a year, but I don't trust western reporting on the matter.

Obscure, but so was Traore. Usually you can "guess" if you look at their educational background - Morocco/France/West means that they are western puppets, local universities or Russia/China/Cuba means they tend to be sovereigntists. Or like the Madagascar coup leader who was part of an CIA training thingie, hilarious how some tried to dispute that as evidence for the grassroot nature of the one piece "revolutions"
