Guinea-Bissau: African "narco-state"

IN THE PAPERS: The president shot dead in his palace and the army chief of staff killed in a bomb blast leaves no one in charge in Guinea-Bissau. A "narco-state" where drug barons have almost entirely eaten away any form of legitimate state". Every day an estimated one ton of Colombian cocaine is flown in by light aircraft.

I must disagree. I'm an American who works in Guinea-Bissau, and while all of the things you listed exist nationally (and did before the Portuguese got there) they did far more to hurt the country than those things do.

Centralizing the power and then not training anyone to take it over when they left created a giant power vacuum, facilitating most of what's happened in the last 30 years. Guineannses are people who get along and look out for each other in general.

It is funny to hear an European especially for the spanish-portuguese or French extraction speak of political civility. What is the political civility is slaughtering millions in the war of independence at GB (Portugal), Algeria (French) or Congo (Belgium)? You folks are hypocrites. The only political civility you have is unending thirst and access to cheap resources. Stay in Europe!
