About Guinea-Bissau
Guinea-Bissau is a small West African republic of about two million people, once part of the Mali Empire and the warrior federation of Kaabu. Portugal colonised it before independence was declared in 1973 and recognised in 1974. The name of its capital was added to the country's name to avoid confusion with neighbouring Guinea. Cashews, Creole and coups define its modern story.
