Quecuto Fati was appointed commander of Guinea-Bissau’s Rapid Intervention Police on Tuesday, replacing Eliteandro Silva Ferreira, known as Ely. The decision was made by decree of Secretary of State for Public Order Salvador Soares, with immediate effect, the Guinea-Bissau News Agency (ANG) reports.
The decree also appoints Sub-Inspector Bacar Fati deputy commander of the Rapid Intervention Police, Armando Mendes inspector of the Rapid Intervention Group, and Sub-Inspector Feliciano Homem André head of operations. The appointments annul the previous arrangements and are part of a reorganisation of the Ministry of the Interior, led by António Suca Intchama.
The Interior Minister dismissed 17 members of his office the previous week. They had been appointed by his predecessor, Mama Saliu Embaló, according to ANG. Quecuto Fati’s appointment comes after several changes to Guinea-Bissau’s security and administrative structures, including Juélcio Ildefonso Mendonça’s appointment as head of the tax brigade, announced on 20 October.
