G/Bissau ex-military chief released from prison

Friday, 24 December 2010 17:40

IndutaAFP - The former military chief in Guinea-Bissau has been released after eight months in prison following a mutiny by his deputy, and just days after the EU warned of possible sanctions against the west African state.Induta
"I was released last night (Wednesday) on the orders of the army chief who had acted upon the request of the president and the government," Admiral Jose Zamora Induta told AFP by telephone Thursday.
"I have returned to my home in Bissau. I am well," he added.
His release comes two days after the European Commission in Brussels threatened to suspend some development aid as it called for "the end of illegal detentions and impunity" in Guinea Bissau, where it has plans for some 120 million euros (157 million dollars) in aid to 2013.
Induta was arrested by General Antonio Indjai, his deputy who is now the army chief and who accused him of using large sums of military rations funding for his own benefit.
A source close to Indjai told AFP that Induta's release was "not decided under pressure" but for humanitarian reasons and that the ex-military chief "remained under house arrest and is not free to move about."
Guinea-Bissau has been plagued by coups since independence from Portugal in 1974 and instability has attracted South American drug cartels that use the country as a transit point to Europe.

Yaya harboured General Bubu Natchuto who worked together with General Antonio Indjai for the overthrow of Admiral Jose Zamora Induta when Bubo’s famous “ESCAPE” was staged only to exploit the humanitarian diplomacy of the UN & sought temporal refuge in its Head quarters in Bissau. It’s such immunities that yaya jammeh exploits to engage in treachery, drugs & murder. Why should a fellow human stand for the inhumane exploitation of another??? UN, US, EU, AU, ECOWAS, etc, please stand up for humanity anywhere it’s breached, only then, we CAN succeed to have kept our collective promise for saw to existence of TOLERANT human race.

Where anarchy & banditry’s allowed to breed grounds, PEACE & TRANQUILTY jumps the ground. Guinea Bissau’s case resembles the scenario of shore /rotten finger growing to give grounds to similar monsters like yaya jammeh in Gambia & others, places to breed.
