President Umaro Sissoco Embalo on Monday dissolved Guinea-Bissau's parliament after meeting with the Council of State, the president's consultative body, according to a presidential decree.
According to the decree, an attack by a heavily armed National Guard group on the judicial police building in the capital Bissau last week aimed to "subvert the constitutional order" and resulted in a tragic loss of life.
Clashes erupted between elements of the National Guard and special forces of the Presidential Guard in Bissau on Thursday night and continued on Friday as a group of National Guard soldiers attempted to free a detained minister from the judicial police building.
