Guinea-Bissau Constitutional Referendum: Guinea-Bissau is voting on a new constitution this Sunday, after the military seized power last November. The draft would shift power toward the presidency—letting the president appoint and dismiss the prime minister and ministers, chair the Council of Ministers, restructure ministries, and dissolve parliament under certain conditions—while shrinking parliament and redrawing constituencies. Opposition leaders and human-rights advocates say the process lacks legitimacy, with a “no” campaign facing restrictions and calls for a boycott. Public Health & Community Life: Guinea-Bissau’s first known mpox outbreak is being tracked by WHO, with 10 lab-confirmed cases and 58 suspected as of late August; confirmed infections are adults with no clear links, raising concerns that some transmission chains may be missed. Culture & Nature in Boé: In Boé National Park, researchers are studying “accumulative stone throwing” by wild western chimpanzees—repeatedly hurling rocks at the same trees, alongside pant-hoots and tree-drumming—suggesting a potentially cultural behavior. Education & Tech Access: Google is expanding its free one-year AI offer to students across 27 African countries, including Guinea-Bissau, giving access to Gemini tools and extra cloud storage.
