We, civil society organisations from West Africa, committed to democratic values and the rule of law, denounce constitutional manipulations and raise awareness about the political crisis in Guinea-Bissau.
Context and Presentation In recent years in Africa, the decline of democratic governance—particularly the shrinking of civic space, digital surveillance, and the increasing spread of misinformation—has profoundly impacted the political landscape.
