GUINEA BISSAU: Military Coup Derails Democratic Process

"The military of Guinea Bissau has taken this action because the government is abusing the constitution and seems incapable of resolving the country's mounting political and economic problems,” says Verissimo Correia Seabre, the army General who led Sunday's coup. Already, the coup has been condemned by the regional body ECOWAS, or the Economic Commission of West African States, the African Union, the United Nations and the Association of Portuguese Speaking Countries. And mediation efforts are underway.
