lol, another oppressing warmonger is dead, nice. May his soul violently rot in HELL.
Hopefully, the country won't remain in the cyclical violent trend he helped create. |

| Once again this ugly scenario revisits our Motherland. Guinea Bissau suffered untold hardship from the colonial era to date . Several wars fought and all this in an impoverished nation with scarce natural resources, interestingly though it became a hob for drug moguls exploiting its current status of instability to trade their wares or transship them off to other destinations. Visiting Bissau was such an experience even before the recent upheavals , what with all the petty corrupt official en route fleecing travelers of their hard earned monies.One feels choked with anger trying to reach the capital with so many check points along the route, having to bribe who ever choses to put a chain or rope across the road. Now with the alleged drug influx , I read and saw news reports about drug abuse and the naked official involvement especially of the army in these nefarious activities leaving the local populace open to danger from such problems. I am not surprised to hear that the army chief and the president fell out and what happened was a culmination of what was in the air for a while now.The army reportedly rebutted allegations of a coup and promised to follow constitutional requirements which are in place, so who ever is entitled by that code to take on the mantle of leading the nation would do so, hopefully that is; if they keep their word.What remains though is that nasty environ of danger roving overhead; to wit , drug proliferation. Unless this is tackled ,Guinea Bissau would continue to suffer on this road; a very hard road to travel on indeed. |

| Thanks kaanibaa for that summing up in a nutshell the problems of Guinea Bissau,hard drugs are the cause of most of the problems but the country has never had a stable foundation and the former colonial power did very little to help when independence was gained,it appeared that they just packed up and went home,who will take over the office of the president there? as far as I am aware there is no one who has showed any interest in the post (unless you know better of course!)I suspect that the military officers will have a strong hand in running the country in the future,even though,as you say, "The army reportedly rebutted allegations of a coup and promised to follow constitutional requirements which are in place, so who ever is entitled by that code to take on the mantle of leading the nation would do so, hopefully that is; if they keep their word." The environs of Guinea Bissau are superb, but a country without a firm and stable structure cannot prosper. |

the Prince on a warpath. You sumed it up nicely. The man thought that he was invincible. But they the phyco African leaders are more exposed than they thought. I met one English man who use to travel Africa installing security devices for the Palaces and presidential residence. he said almost all this leaders are seriously paranoid.
It takes one bullet to rip them apart, let alone a shoulder missile. They take pleasure in making the pain of their percieved enemies. May God serve him accordinging to what he derserved. |

When we overstay our invitations, the only thing next is forced exit. Nino should have been contented with his achivements. He himself was a military General and if i rememeber well he took power, had clash with Ansumana Manneh (Brig-Brag) of Gambian origin also a General in their Army during the independence struggle, left for Europe because of a coup and still wants to rule the Gunieans again as though he is the only capable person on the ground.
DO NOT OVERSTAY YOUR INVITATION.
Independence has been granted and its no eexcuse for them to not develop their country. Independence requires patriotism so we must all stop blaming colonialism now. Its over and done with. We must look into our own selves and for answers.
A free and detrmined people can do anything they put their minds to. |

It's amazing Kon's what happens to African leaders and their reasons for overstaying . The fact is in the midst of insecurity and instability every African President feels they can try to change the system before leaving and it seems to take longer than expected. The African problem is worse than just deceitful means and corruption. The whole system is just corrupted.
After colonisation we never forged ahead instead every perceived development is usually politically motivated thus rendering it biased and useless at times.
By the time we are done we would have killed all our neighbours and families justifying it one way or another. This has been the African way and most likely the African way.................................................Peace

MOE I have an idea, why don't you use your words as your signature?
i.e.
"After colonisation we never forged ahead instead every perceived development is usually politically motivated thus rendering it biased and useless at times."

As I am against death penalty and murder of any men by another men, I condemn these assasination. This is prejudical punishment. The men should be judged and get a punishment (except death penalty). This kind of coup, assassination and regime change is no solution.
Non-violent social and regime change is the only option. I would rather suffer under this man, but do not give up my principle of regime change to be democratic. Some of those who opposse Jammeh, now supporting undemocratic, violent regime change. It is a big disappointment. Further it is hypocracy.
My sympathy to their children and family. |
diaspora! Too many Chiefs and Very Few Indians.
Halifa Salah: PDOIS is however realistic. It is fully aware that the Gambian voters are yet to reach a level of political consciousness that they rely on to vote on the basis of Principles, policies and programmes and practices. |
