      @Guinea-Bissau

      Introduction Guinea-Bissau

      Background:

       Since independence from Portugal in 1974, Guinea-Bissau has

       experienced considerable upheaval. The founding government consisted

       of a single party system and command economy. In 1980, a military

       coup established Joao VIEIRA as president and a path to a market

       economy and multiparty system was implemented. A number of coup

       attempts through the 1980s and early 1990s failed to unseat him and

       in 1994 he was elected president in the country's first free

       elections. A military coup attempt and civil war in 1998 eventually

       led to VIERA's ouster in 1999. In February 2000, an interim

       government turned over power when opposition leader Kumba YALA took

       office following two rounds of transparent presidential elections.

       YALA was ousted in a bloodless coup in September 2003, and Henrique

       ROSA was sworn in as President. Guinea-Bissau's transition back to

       democracy will be complicated by its crippled economy, devastated in

       the civil war.
