Guinea-Bissau: Transition after the Coup
Channel: International Crisis Group
Date: 2012-08-22

On 12 April 2012 a military uprising ousted former prime minister Carlos Gomes Júnior just as he was about to compete in a run-off presidential election that he was poised to win.

Gabriela Keseberg Dávalos, Senior Communications Officer for the International Crisis Group, and Vincent Foucher, Crisis Group West Africa Senior Analyst, were in Bissau to examine the current situation in the country, the reasons for the overthrow and the priorities of the new transitional government. They met with policy makers and civil society representatives. In this video you can see a few of the interviews.
