 afrol News - Guinea-Bissau's Kumba Yala: from crisis to crisis
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.
Even so, Mr Yala promised revenge on those who had kept him from serving his term in office, and in October 2004, General Seabra, who was at the time Armed Forces Chief of Staff, was murdered during a military uprising.
