不要跟下方的幾內亞搞混囉。位於西非,聯合國認定全球最低度開發國家之一,重債國,過去債務是GDP的2倍,現在好一點了,降到0.7,但人民生活仍舊非常困苦,相當仰賴國際救援。自1974 年從葡萄牙獨立以來,經歷了9次政變或未遂政變,多位總統或軍事領袖於政變中身亡。
Year Founded: 1973
It’s easy to confuse this state with its neighbor just to the south, the Republic of Guinea. The Republic of Guinea-Bissau is located in West Africa. It is one of the least developed countries according to the United Nations and is heavily indebted. In the past, Guinea-Bissau’s debt was twice that of its GDP. Now, things are better, and its debt is 0.7 times its GDP. However, its people are still living in poverty and the country relies heavily on foreign aid. Since its independence from Portugal in 1974, Guinea-Bissau has experienced 9 coups and coup attempts. Many presidents and military leaders died in those coups.
