Bissau
Bissau is the capital city of Guinea-Bissau. In 2007 Bissau had an estimated population of 407,424. Bissau is located on the Geba River estuary, off the Atlantic Ocean, and is Guinea-Bissau's largest city, major port, and its administrative and military centre.
History
The city was founded in 1687 by Portugal as a fortified port and trading center. In 1942 it became the capital of Portuguese Guinea.
After the declaration of independence by the anti-colonial guerrillas of PAIGC in 1973, the capital of the de facto independent territories was declared to be Madina do Boe. Bissau remained as the capital of the Portuguese-occupied regions, and the de jure capital of all of Portuguese Guinea. When Portugal recognized the independence of Guinea-Bissau and decolonised in 1974 due to the military coup of April 25 in Lisbon, the two territories merged and Bissau became the capital of the new independent state. The city is known for its annual carnival.
The city, as the seat of government, was the scene of intense fighting during the beginning and end of the Guinea-Bissau Civil War in 1998 and 1999.

Guinea-Bissau is one of the world’s lesser-known nations, nestled along West Africa’s stunning coast. It’s rich in natural beauty and cultural treasures, from the lush Bissagos Islands to the vibrant streets of Bissau, but like many developing nations, it faces unique challenges.

It all started on the 9 June 1998, with what seemed like a confinable military uprising. The army were demanding better salaries and better pensions for the war veterans that gave the nation its independence. They were also siding with the army's chief, who was sacked for allegedly smuggling arms to Senegal - an offence it now seems was committed by President Nino Vieria himself. The breakaways were a vicious fighting force, fuelled by vengeance for their treatment at the hands of Vieria.

Guinea-Bissau is one of the world’s lesser-known nations, nestled along West Africa’s stunning coast. It’s rich in natural beauty and cultural treasures, from the lush Bissagos Islands to the vibrant streets of Bissau, but like many developing nations, it faces unique challenges. The roads, energy supply, healthcare facilities, and digital infrastructure haven’t always kept up with the growing needs of its people. But 2024 is proving to be a pivotal year, a time when Guinea-Bissau is finally getting the upgrades it needs to support its people, boost the economy, and take its place as a key player in the region.
There’s a new bridge connecting remote regions, making it easier for people to reach schools, markets, and hospitals. Ports are being expanded to open trade routes and boost exports, creating jobs and attracting international investment. Solar power initiatives are brightening up homes and powering industries, bringing electricity to communities that have been in the dark. These developments might start with concrete and steel, but they’re building a foundation for something much bigger: a future where Guinea-Bissau’s potential shines for the world to see. Buckle up, because this is going to be an inspiring ride!

The United States Drug Enforcement Administration says Guinea-Bissau is becoming what it calls a Narco state.
It accuses Latin American drug traffickers of bribing state officials to let cocaine destined for Europe transit through the country, and into the Sahel region where armed groups use the drugs to fund their fighting.
Al Jazeera's Nicolas Haque reports from the capital, Bissau.

Lords of War (1999)
The war in Guinea-Bissau was short, violent and often waged on the civilian population. Frontline footage bears witness to the destruction.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures
It all started on the 9 June 1998, with what seemed like a confinable military uprising. The army were demanding better salaries and better pensions for the war veterans that gave the nation its independence. They were also siding with the army's chief, who was sacked for allegedly smuggling arms to Senegal - an offence it now seems was committed by President Nino Vieria himself. The breakaways were a vicious fighting force, fuelled by vengeance for their treatment at the hands of Vieria.

Guinea-Bissau is one of the world’s lesser-known nations, nestled along West Africa’s stunning coast. It’s rich in natural beauty and cultural treasures, from the lush Bissagos Islands to the vibrant streets of Bissau, but like many developing nations, it faces unique challenges. The roads, energy supply, healthcare facilities, and digital infrastructure haven’t always kept up with the growing needs of its people. But 2024 is proving to be a pivotal year, a time when Guinea-Bissau is finally getting the upgrades it needs to support its people, boost the economy, and take its place as a key player in the region.
There’s a new bridge connecting remote regions, making it easier for people to reach schools, markets, and hospitals. Ports are being expanded to open trade routes and boost exports, creating jobs and attracting international investment. Solar power initiatives are brightening up homes and powering industries, bringing electricity to communities that have been in the dark. These developments might start with concrete and steel, but they’re building a foundation for something much bigger: a future where Guinea-Bissau’s potential shines for the world to see. Buckle up, because this is going to be an inspiring ride!

Bissau
Bissau is the capital city of Guinea-Bissau. In 2007 Bissau had an estimated population of 407,424. Bissau is located on the Geba River estuary, off the Atlantic Ocean, and is Guinea-Bissau's largest city, major port, and its administrative and military centre.
History
The city was founded in 1687 by Portugal as a fortified port and trading center. In 1942 it became the capital of Portuguese Guinea.
After the declaration of independence by the anti-colonial guerrillas of PAIGC in 1973, the capital of the de facto independent territories was declared to be Madina do Boe. Bissau remained as the capital of the Portuguese-occupied regions, and the de jure capital of all of Portuguese Guinea. When Portugal recognized the independence of Guinea-Bissau and decolonised in 1974 due to the military coup of April 25 in Lisbon, the two territories merged and Bissau became the capital of the new independent state. The city is known for its annual carnival.
The city, as the seat of government, was the scene of intense fighting during the beginning and end of the Guinea-Bissau Civil War in 1998 and 1999.
