After a military coup, what is next for Guinea-Bissau?
Episode description
Right before results of a highly-contested election were due to be announced, Guinea-Bissau’s government fell to a military coup that leaders in West Africa are calling a sham. In a nation where most people rely on growing cashews for a living, cocaine trafficking casts a long shadow. Guinea-Bissau is often referred to as “Africa’s first narco-state.” What does the future hold now?
