Claim
The Supreme Court of Justice declared that the president's firing of the cabinet was unconstitutional and outside the head of state's powers
Correction

This ruling was issued by São Tomé and Príncipe’s Constitutional Court, not its Supreme Court of Justice.

Full reasoning

The article identifies the wrong court. Contemporary reports about the ruling say the Constitutional Court (Tribunal Constitucional) declared President Carlos Vila Nova’s decree dismissing Patrice Trovoada’s government unconstitutional.

  • RTP reported: "O Tribunal Constitucional (TC) são-tomense declarou inconstitucional o decreto do Presidente Carlos Vila Nova..." and quoted Acórdão 01/2026 of the Constitutional Court.
  • RSTP likewise described the decision as "Acórdão 01/2026 do Tribunal Constitucional (TC)" and said it was the Constitutional Court that declared the dismissal unconstitutional.

So the post’s statement is inaccurate because it attributes that decision to the Supreme Court of Justice instead of the Constitutional Court.

Claim
Minister: Gareth Guadalupe
Correction

Gareth Guadalupe is not the foreign minister; he is the economy and finance minister. The foreign minister is Ilza Amado Vaz.

Full reasoning

This entry assigns the wrong minister to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and Communities.

Official and quasi-official government sources identify Ilza Maria dos Santos Amado Vaz as the minister responsible for foreign affairs:

  • The official website of the Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros, Cooperação e Comunidades repeatedly names Ilza Amado Vaz and includes a welcome message from the ministry’s minister.
  • The São Tomé and Príncipe consulate in Marseille’s government-composition page lists "Ministre d'État des Affaires étrangères, de la Coopération et des Communautés : Ilza Maria dos Santos Amado Vaz".
  • The same consular page separately lists Gareth Haddad do Espírito Santo Guadalupe as Minister of Economy and Finance, not foreign affairs.

So the post’s identification of Gareth Guadalupe as the foreign minister is incorrect.
