Travel Guinea-Bissau

Official Name of Guinea-Bissau: Republic of Guinea-Bissau
Government type in Guinea-Bissau: republic
Capital of Guinea-Bissau: Bissau
Primary Language in Guinea-Bissau: Portuguese
Currency in Guinea-Bissau: Communaute Financiere Africaine franc

In 1994, 20 years after independence from Portugal, the country's first multiparty legislative and presidential elections were held. An army uprising that triggered a bloody civil war in 1998 created hundreds of thousands of displaced persons. A military junta ousted the president in May 1999. An interim government turned over power in February 2000 when opposition leader Kumba YALA took office following two rounds of transparent presidential elections. Guinea-Bissau's transition back to democracy will be complicated by its crippled economy, devastated in the civil war. This small country is swampy along its western coast and low-lying further inland.
