	afrol News - Chaotic Guinea-Bissau elections extended
		The ongoing legislative elections in Guinea-Bissau are the first step in the troubled country's return to democratically elected governing institutions after last year's coup.
		Poor organisation of the long-awaited legislative elections had led to a late opening of many poll stations throughout the country and in particular in the capital, Bissau.
		President Yala on the other hand was heavily criticised for being unwilling to organise democratic elections and his alleged inability to organise timely elections was part of the reason given for the military coup deposing him in September last year.
