The facility is strategically located near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait linking the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. A permanent Chinese military installation in Equatorial Guinea is the culmination of nearly a decade\u2019s investment in Africa \u2013 and will not be the last of such bases on the continent\u2019s Atlantic coast.<\/li><li><strong>Pair 2 is correctly matched:<\/strong> Guinean special forces in September 2021 staged a coup, capturing President Alpha Conde and announcing a nationwide curfew \u201cuntil further notice\u201d as well as the replacement of governors by the military. After putting Guinea back under military rule for the first time in over a decade, the junta said Guinea\u2019s governors were to be replaced by regional commanders. A nightly curfew was put in place, and the country\u2019s constitution and National Assembly were both dissolved.<\/li><li><strong>Pair 3 is correctly matched: <\/strong>Lebanon\u2019s severe and prolonged economic depression is, according to the World Bank, \u2018likely to rank in the top 10, possibly top 3, most severe crisis episodes globally since the mid-nineteenth century.<\/li><li><strong>Pair 4 is correctly matched: <\/strong>Tunisian President Kais Saied on March 2022 announced that he was dissolving the suspended parliament. The decision came after 124 of 217 members of parliament held an online meeting despite the suspension. Tunisian President Kais Saied slammed what he called a \u201cfailed coup attempt\u201d after lawmakers convened online and voted to repeal presidential decrees that gave him near-total power<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/free-resources-for-upsc?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=Resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/18.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42398 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/18.png 1280w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/18-1170x274.png 1170w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/18-585x137.png 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/300;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For UPSC Prelims Resources,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc-cse-prelims-resource-centre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Daily Updates and Study Material:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join our Telegram Channel \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/WithEdukemy4IAS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edukemy for IAS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1.
