National Assembly has been shut down and taken over by the Department of State Services (DSS).
In a video presently trending online, the country’s intelligence agency, took over the National Assembly, leading to concerns about the state of democracy in the country.
This development comes at a crucial time when the country is set to hold its presidential elections in two weeks, on 25 February 2023.
The DSS’s takeover has sparked fears of an impending dictatorship or state of anarchy, as the country’s democratic institutions have been undermined.
The DSS has not yet issued a statement on the matter, leaving many citizens and international observers wondering what their intentions are and what the next steps will be for the country.
