Unknown but it could be coup a la Burkina Faso. Guinea-Bissau was ruled by revisionists communists turned "democratic socialist" aka neoliberals post-soviet union collapse. It was once a socialist country, with an anti-imperialist legacy. Though sadly it got quickly embroiled in a tug war between France vs the USA & the failed unifaction with Cape Verde along with racial tensions.
