should the people of G.Bissau remain ignorant killing of people every time.let the world make help to the people of Bissau to promote education,the reason behind all this killings and uncontable coup attempt is due to ignorance.TELL THEM TO GO TO SCHOOL AND GET EDUCATED. Best regards from sonko G.B.
Nonsense, what do you know about Guiné Bissau and his people. Please don't talk about things that you don't know and you don't understand. The people of GB are 1.5 million and are good people and not ignorant as you say. People doing this are few criminals. I wonder who is ignorant the people of GB or yourself. If you were an educated person I doubt you would say such things. It would be interesting to know where are you from. Best Regards from Uguiss Yeh a Bissau Guinean
Africans should dismiss any further Portuguese meddling; because those evil European colonialist crooks are directly responsible for creating destructive situations of 'divide and dominate' in African countries. The evil European's FORCING of different African ethnic groups upon each other in one country, is the root of almost all African internal conflicts. And most of the conflicts are internal to the countries! Part of the solution is for Africans to create a federation of the different ethnic groups. In this way, each ethnic group can maintain most of its ancient identity and culture within the country. 'Divide and dominate' creates endless friction! And criminal countries like Portugal just continues to stoke the fire, and them pretend to be 'peace maker'. Peace-less and evil Europeans creatures cannot promote peace; because their nature is beastly.

D incident in guinea bissau should be an eye-opner 2 all african so-call leader.this s what wait 4 them, ie d dictator,who over state in power n re nt doing thing correctly or rightly.
My prayers are for Nino - a friend to Guineans everywhere - that his soul rest in perfect peace; for the families devastated by his loss and the loss of Tagme Na Waie - these sons of the soil. Another proof that we MUST learn to resolve differences; we MUST put national development first. PLEASE join me in prayers of peace for Guinea-Bissau!
I am surprise to hear the bad News from my friends back home in Guinea Bissau. This country needs stability. It’s a few elements who are really causing problems in this country and the people need peace.
SAD, SAD AND SAD THAT AN AFRICAN PRESIDENT RECEIVES JUSTICE IN SUCH A MANNER. THERE IS NO GOOD WAY FORWARD FOR AFRICA UNTIL THE MILITARY IS MADE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEMS CAUSED SINCE THE END OF COLONIALISM. MOST OF OUR POLITICAL LEADERS ARE DEARLY RESPONSIBLE IN THE ARMING OF THE MILITARY IN A BID TO SAFEGUARD THEIR CORRUPT REGIMES AT THE SUFFERING MERCY OF THE POOR. A NEW CHAPTER IN THE POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT OF THE MILITARY IN AFRICA HAS TO BE RE- WRITTEN. ECOWAS, THE AU AND THE UNITED NATIONS HAVE TO SAVE THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA FROM THE HANDS OF THESE "KHAKI BOYS" WHO ONLY LIVE ON TAX PAYERS SWEATS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. AFRICA NEEDS SOME WAY FORWARD.

Another gory outcome inevitable of poor governance and long struggle for power and stability. The violent killings and the army bravado are all reminiscent of a weak, decadent and corrupt nation. A completely disparaging crisis that needs urgent rescue efforts. But like Liberia, S/Leone and Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea- Bissau shall overcome.
It is absolutely deplorable, the manner in which politics on sub-saharan African soil is conducted. Coups, rapes, mass killings, ethnic clensing, mutilations, etc... We look inhuman to the rest of the world, and these images saturate the minds of many who live outside the continent and judge us with negative perceptions. When is the African Union going to develop policies that govern more civilized political processes? This seems to be an on-going occurrence that many have grown comfortable to know as "politics as usual in Africa." This is absolute nonsense. There is no forward progress for our continent, if there can't be a more civilized approach to governance. Many great African minds await an opportunity to return home, but instead, we import Chinese and European inginuity to do the work that many of our African brothers and sisters can perform. Africa continues to die at the hands of neo-colonialism and ignorant leadership. This is what the former slavemasters want, and we are walking right into their hands.
Do you know Guyanese history? Obviously not! And if you have not bothered to look at and understand Guyanese history, you know less of history on the African continent.
A lot of the problems Africans, Guyanese and other previously colonized countries have with governance stem the 'divide and dominate' structures that the evil Europeans set up when they move into the shadows to pull their sinful strings of influence in former colonies.
Countries like Bissau are the result of FORCED mixing by the evil Europeans of different African cultures.
Ethnic groups that are FORCED together MUST experience friction. It is this friction that heats up into violence from time to time.
The way forward is to effectively educate the population away from the evils of eurocentricity.
It's sad that Africa cannot get its politics inorder. Reason being, leaders who don't want to leave power thinking that they are the only ones who can lead. This creats enemity in sociaty and revenge because usually the president's tribe benefits the most. If we have an orderly transfer of power then this could not happen because people know that after so many years the government will change. For example Uganda whose leader has been in power for twenty-five years and counting.
It is unfortunate that only one respondent to this article is seeing the root of the of the problem on the continent. The unconscious dependence on your former masters, even though you call yourselves independent. They use any means necessary to create instabilities in your governments in order to keep you from focusing on the rape of your natural resources. While you maintain there colonial structures, trying to be like them, they continue draining you of your wealth.
Cut the vampire corporations off. Refine your own oil, turn your own crops into product to sell on the market.You are allowing europeans and asians to do what was done to your brothers in the U.S. Free labor gave this country the ability to become a world power almost overnight. Your giving eurasia virtually free crops and minerals will be your downfall. Break the cycle.
Will Africa enter into a new era of coup?Ever it has been.

Comming from a country that endures violence all times understand and want to make clear to the people of Guinea Bissau who I love and adore that violence will never ever solve their problems, and the country will stay as it is at present.
Both assassination has done harm to the people and to generation to come. I pledge all people involved and wish they can read my message to love their people and this so beautiful country, struggle against poverty and illeteracy, demand for proper medical care, education, give a chance for business development, improve agriculture, produce and export , build a healthy society and close doors for drugs and crime , this the time - if not this will bring the comming generation to ask you why did you kill their country and their dreams.
