Military Uprising in Guinea-Bissau (1999)

Lords of War (1999)
The war in Guinea-Bissau was short, violent and often waged on the civilian population. Frontline footage bears witness to the destruction.

It all started on the 9 June 1998, with what seemed like a confinable military uprising. The army were demanding better salaries and better pensions for the war veterans that gave the nation its independence. They were also siding with the army's chief, who was sacked for allegedly smuggling arms to Senegal - an offence it now seems was committed by President Nino Vieria himself. The breakaways were a vicious fighting force, fuelled by vengeance for their treatment at the hands of Vieria.

[@williamjoof3054]

I have just discovered this brief résumé of the unfortunate June 1999 military uprising in Guinea Bissau. However by design or by omission, the very important role played by The Gambia both in brokering a ceasefire agreement which was eventually signed in Abuja, and in the extraction of late President Nino Vieira from the Residence of the then Portuguese Ambassador to Banjul from where he travelled to Lisbon, have somehow been left. Some of the key surviving actors on both sides of the conflict can certainly attest to this.

It’s the consequence of guinea Bissau military never learning how to be a professional army after the war of independence. Unlike cap vert veterans, these thugs never accepted civilians supremacy over the military. Fighting for your country don’t entitled you to new house, tv or car’s. Poor guinea Bissau, may God help them.

[@youssefcamara3916]

@@ibrahimbah1044 l think many lost their ways after the cowardly murder of Amilcar Cabral. That night of long knifes in Conakry among brothers in arms never really healed properly. The military coup of Nino and Ansoumane against Luiz Cabral didn’t help either. As a consequence, guinea Bissau is still one of the poorest country in Africa today.

I was born in Guinea Bissau on 20th July 1998, during this war, by foreign parents , my mum tells me stories about the experience. These men fought with their hearts to expel an ungrateful man together with shithole Senegalese & Guinea Conakry soldiers siding with him

[@ERZAJOP]

NO .. Your mum told you the atrocity of this war.. BUT SENEGALESE SOLDIERS CAME IN AND DESTROYED THESE REBELS, WHO LOST ALL THEIR POSITION IN AND AROUND THE CAPITAL BISSAU.. Senegalese soldiers pushed back the rebels and they finally accepted to come to the negotiations because they knew that as long as the senegalese are there, they will never be able to defeat Nino.. After the negotiations, the rebels accepted to put down their weapons..500 ecowas soldiers were deployed ...In turn, the 1400 senegalese soldiers have to leave the country..A goverment of all parties was formed and Nino saved his power... But after the senegalese soldiers left the rebels created tensions and broke the arms depots again and attacked Nino's presidential palace again.. This time Nino run and the rebel seized power

[@ERZAJOP]

@@luinomrkt2111 Get yourself together .. And stop spreading lies.. Senegalese sent 1400 soldiers… These soldiers came in the moment where the bissau mutinees were solidly entrenched in the capital and the weapons and munition depots were in their hands.. Senegalese had to put their feet on the ground and make their way to push the rebels back and secure Nino’s palace.. And they succeeded after the senegalese artillery took down the munition depot, killing hundreds of rebels and taking back the whole capital.. After that NINO PARADED INSIDE BISSAU ON FOOT, escorted by senegalese soldiers .. Of course a lot of senegalese soldiers lost their life: 120 men, mostly young soldiers who were in a war for the 1st time in their life… As for the mfdc rebels in Casamance, they will never dare enter Casamance now

Seu otario

[@blackanarchicreacts]

You know what's funny? Under Portuguese rule, Bissau had a 99% illiteracy rate. After fomenting wars between kingdoms to boost the slave trade, and committing atrocities to seal Bissau off as their own colonial turf, they purposely kept the population uneducated, because they didn't care about developing the country at all--only stealing from it, and because they knew an educated people would demand their independence even more forcefully and confidently. But here you are, presumably a citizen of some wealthy country in Europe or North America, who never had to kill people for the right to go to schools, and you actively choose not to read about things at all before you form opinions on them. Portugal. Which murdered and shot dozens of dock workers for simple peaceful strike actions. Which was only holding on to Guinea-Bissau so fanatically because its own backward economy threatened collapse without the African "provinces," unique even among colonies for how poor and brutalizing they were. Which was at the brink of Communist uprisings itself because of its own stagnant, poorly industrialized economy, and popular discontent with an actual Fascist dictatorship--what Bissau clearly needed in the 60s-70s was more of that bang-up Portuguese civilizing process.
