O presidente da Guiné-Bissau, Nino Vieira, foi morto pelos militares. Sua residência foi atacada horas depois que o chefe das forças armadas foi morto.
Reporter: Will Ross
Report:
Relatório:
A military spokesman told the French news agency that President Nino Vieira was killed by the army as he tried to flee his house. There was heavy gunfire around the presidential palace during the night. A few hours earlier the head of the armed forces, General Tagme Na Waie was killed when a bomb blew up in the military headquarters.
Um porta-voz militar disse à agência de notícias francesa que o presidente Nino Vieira foi morto pelo exército enquanto tentava fugir de casa. Houve muitos tiros ao redor do palácio presidencial durante a noite. Poucas horas antes, o chefe das forças armadas, general Tagme Na Waie, foi morto quando uma bomba explodiu no quartel-general militar.
The army spokesman suggested that the president had been behind the death of General Tagme Na Waie, and that is why he was then murdered. There is, however, no further confirmation of his death.
O porta-voz do exército sugeriu que o presidente estava por trás da morte do General Tagme Na Waie, e é por isso que ele foi assassinado. Não há, no entanto, mais nenhuma confirmação de sua morte.
Guinea Bissau has actually a history of coups and unrest. Last November, for instance, President Vieira narrowly escaped when soldiers attacked his house and in January the head of the armed forces also survived what appeared to be an attempt on his life.
Guiné-Bissau tem, na verdade, uma história de golpes e agitação. Em novembro passado, por exemplo, o presidente Vieira escapou por pouco quando soldados atacaram sua casa e, em janeiro, o chefe das forças armadas também sobreviveu ao que pareceu ser um atentado contra sua vida.
Guinea Bissau's fragility is down to the fact that its presidents have all been propped up by the military. President Vieira has been in power twice, he was ousted in 1999 after he had sacked the army commander.
