Guinea-Bissau

Guinea-Bissau
- Guinea-Bissau, country of western Africa.
- Situated on the Atlantic coast, the predominantly low-lying country is slightly hilly farther inland.
- The name Guinea remains a source of debate; it is perhaps a corruption of an Amazigh (Berber) word meaning “land of the blacks.
- ” The country also uses the name of its capital, Bissau, to distinguish it from Guinea, its neighbour to the east and south.
Guinea-Bissau has so much to offer, here are some of the things Guinea-Bissau is known for.
- Ilha de Rubane: Relaxing amid world-class facilities and natural splendour.
- Ilha de Bubaque: Experiencing village life, a short walk from your island getaway.
- Bissau Velho: Tangoing in cobbled streets by candlelight, after a dinner of salty bacalau and red wine in the capital.
- Parque Nacional das Ilhas de Orango: Locking eyes with hippos as they emerge from the warm saltwater lagoons.
- Parque Nacional de Cantanhez: Following chimpanzee, elephant and buffalo trails through dense forests.
- Quinhámel: Dipping oysters in hot lime sauce after a day in the water.
- Bolama: Sitting on the steps of the abandoned town hall, with its crumbling Greek-style pillars.

Carlos Domingos Gomes Junior was the Prime Minister of Guinea Bissau in 2010.Gomes once again became the Prime Minister of Guinea Bissau on 2009 January 2. This was his second time as Prime Minister. Gomes was also Prime Minister from 2004 May 10 to 2005 November 2, but he was dismissed over an inability to work with President Vieira.In 2007, Gomes accused Vieira of complicity in the assassination of Mohamed Sanha, a Navy official. When attempts were made to arrest Gomes for the statements, Gomes fled to the UN building for sanctuary. The charges were later dropped.In 2008 Gomes was once again elected. Vieira appointed Gomes as the Prime Minister, stating that the two would put aside personal differences. However, shortly after on 2009 March 2, Vieira was assassinated by the military. In 2010, there was military unrest, and Gomes was put under house arrest by the military. After several months, Gomes returned to the position, though democracy and stability both remain shaky in Guinea Bissau.
