Sorry to sound callous but dictatorships and endless presidential terms
that are forced on the people never have a good ending. A lesson for the
dictators of Africa.

BISSAU (Reuters) - Soldiers killed Guinea-Bissau's President Joao
Bernado "Nino" Vieira on Monday, hours after the tiny West African
state's army chief was killed in an attack, residents of the capital
said.
Gunfire and the crump of heavier weapons resounded in Bissau city and it
was unclear who was in control.
Two residents, who both declined to be identified, said they had been
told by presidential guards that Vieira had been killed and his body was
lying in his home.
The country of just 1.6 million people, a former Portuguese colony, has
suffered years of coups and civil strife and has been used in the past
few years as a conduit for smuggling Latin American cocaine to Europe.
Vieira is a former military ruler wh
o was ousted during a civil war in
the 1990s and returned to power in a 2005 election.
He had been at odds with armed forces chief of staff General Batista
Tagme Na Wai, who was killed in an attack on Sunday evening.
Tensions are rife within Bissau's political establishment and security
forces. In January, the armed forces command said militiamen hired to
protect President Vieira had shot at Na Wai.
A member of the militia denied the shooting had been an assassination
attempt, but the armed forces command nevertheless ordered the militia
be disbanded.
The 400-strong force had been recruited as Vieira's personal bodyguard
by the Interior Ministry after the president was targeted in a
machinegun and rocket-propelled grenade attack on his residence on
November 23 last year.
Analysts say political instability has been exacerbated in the past few
years as Latin American drugs gangs have taken advantage of
Guinea-Bissau's poorly policed coastline and remote airstrips to smuggle
cocaine through Africa to Europe.
They say well-resourced drug cartels with access to weapons, speedboats
and planes have been able to secure cooperation from senior officials in
the armed forces and government in one of the world's poorest countries,
whose main export is cashew nuts.

The site has a very simple and elegant design going for it. It is not
cluttered. I hope it maintain that attribute through the design process.Â
My only suggestion at the moment is: why don't you place the pictures
you have streaming behind the logo on your gallery page. This could help
load the home page faster. This might not be terribly important for
people living in Lithia Springs with a fat pipe streaming content to
their hearts desire. However the guy in Badibu Kerewan logging in with a
56K modem will not be please with you. But I digress.Â
