Constitutional Referendum: Guinea-Bissau is voting Sunday in a referendum that could reshape the presidency ahead of December elections after last year’s coup. Polls opened after a downpour, with security tightened in Bissau and voting expected to close at 17:00 GMT; first provisional results are due Tuesday. The junta-backed draft would shift the country toward a stronger presidential system, letting the president appoint and dismiss the prime minister and dissolve parliament, while shrinking seats in the legislature. Boycott and legitimacy concerns: Opposition parties and civil society leaders are urging a boycott, saying the draft was prepared without broad consultation and that freedoms are restricted, while supporters argue the changes will stabilize institutions. Low turnout reports: Local media described weak voter movement in some areas, including very limited voting at certain polling stations. Public health support: Separately, Guinea-Bissau received €1.5m in lab equipment from WAHO to boost disease detection and surveillance at the National Public Health Laboratory. Regional peacekeeping spotlight: ECOWAS unveiled books documenting ECOMOG and peace interventions, including in Guinea-Bissau, as part of efforts to capture lessons from past conflicts.
