Brazzaville: Guinea-Bissau's ousted president Umaro Sissoco Embalo arrived in the Republic of Congo's capital Brazzaville on Saturday, days after he was overthrown by the military, Congolese government sources told AFP.
The military took "total control" of the west African country on Wednesday -- a day before the provisional results of national elections were due to be announced -- and Embalo initially left for neighbouring Senegal.
"Embalo arrived in Brazzaville late in the morning on a private jet," a source close to the Congolese government said on condition of anonymity.
A presidency source said Embalo, who had claimed victory in the election, intended to remain in the country, which is also known as Congo-Brazzaville.
The true motives for the coup in Guinea-Bissau remain unclear, with speculation and conspiracy theories circulating -- including that the coup was carried out with Embalo's blessing.
