Guinea-Bissau to hold referendum on expanding presidential power

Guinea-Bissau is set to vote on a significant constitutional change that would grant the president more authority, as announced in a government decree. This move comes amid the country's ongoing political instability, which has been largely managed by the military since a series of coups and political crises. The referendum, slated for later this year, has sparked debate about the potential implications for democracy and governance in the nation. Whether this shift could stabilize or further destabilize the political landscape remains to be seen, but it's a crucial moment for Guinea-Bissau's future direction.
