YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEarlier this week, there was an attempted coup in Guinea-Bissau - a coastal state in West Africa. It's one of the continent's smallest countries but it's become a giant in the drugs trade. The cocaine comes from Latin America to Guinea-Bissau and is then moved onwards to Europe.
Partly because of the narcotics trade, the country suffers from endemic corruption and is highly unstable.
There have been four military coups and a number of attempted coups since its independence from Portugal in 1974. This week's attempt to overthrow President Umaro Sissoco Embalo is just the latest.
