\nThree out of the four pairs are correctly matched: Guinea, Lebanon, and Tunisia have all been in the news recently for the reasons cited.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Guinea experienced a military coup in September 2021, leading to the suspension of its constitution and government.
\n– Lebanon has been facing a severe and prolonged economic depression, widely considered one of the worst global crises since the mid-19th century.
\n– Tunisia’s President Kais Saied suspended the parliament and dismissed the prime minister in July 2021, consolidating power and leading to a political crisis.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe first pair, Chad – Setting up of permanent military base by China, is incorrectly matched. While China has been expanding its presence in Africa, its first and only overseas military base is in Djibouti, not Chad. Chad has faced significant political instability and transitions recently, but not specifically related to a Chinese military base being set up there.
