Guinea-Bissau
is again on the rocks. Last night the President decided to fire the government.
This was an unjustified decision – and dramatically wrong from the constitutional
and political perspectives – as this government had shown to be committed to
bring the country out of two decades of a deep national crisis. This was
actually a well performing government that had been commended by the donor
group of countries at a recent meeting in Brussels.
I
was in discussion today about the new situation over there. And my opinion was
very clear. If you want to understand the President and his mistakes, please
get in touch with his marabout. Like many powerful men in West Africa, the
President is pretty insignificant in front of his marabout. The holy man
dictates the President´s actions.
