President of Guinea-Bissau assassinated



João Bernardo Vieira, the President of Guinea-Bissau has been assasinated. He was shot to death by renegade soldiers in his palace on Monday. He was trying to flee as his palace was being attacked. It it believed that this assasination was revenge for a bomb that killed one of Vieira's rivals, just a few hours earlier.


I think that this is terrible, as this man was helping the country of Guinea-Bissau. Now, this coutnry will likely go through another coup, and who knows what will happen then.
