		Kumba Yala and his prime minister, Mario Pires, were taken into military custody, apparently without resistance, and the mood in the capital Bissau remained calm and relaxed, despite the announcement of a dusk to dawn curfew.
		Kumba Yala, who was known for his trademark red woolen bobble hat, began his political carreer as an ideologue of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde (PAIGC), the guerrilla movement which fought Portuguese colonial rule and came to power at independence.

		Kumba Yala, the man currently doing more than anyone else to upset political stability in Guinea-Bissau, was born 15 March 1953 in Bula, in the Cacheu region, to a Balanta farming family.
		The succession of Prime Ministers and the arbitrary firing of judges had given the worst possible image of President Yala's administration, and, not surprisingly, the Portuguese-speaking community declined to condemn the coup, as opposed to the United Nations, which was only satisfied after Mr Yala signed a declaration renouncing his claim to the presidency.
		President Yala's successive delay of elections, which were supposed to have occurred in the first half of 2003, and the suspicions that he intended to manipulate the law to guarantee that he would remain in power, were just two of the motives the military officials who ousted him voiced.
