Guinea Bissau leader ill in Dakar hospital
Sunday, 24 October 2010 00:55
(AFP) – President Malam Bacai Sanha was rushed to Dakar Saturday after falling ill,
a source close to his office told AFP."We have taken him to Dakar" by military plane, said the source.
Bacai Sanha, who is 62, postponed a visit to Portugal in December last year for health reasons.
At the time, he had also been flown to the Senegalese capital after feeling ill. He was then hospitalised for 10 days in Paris before convalescing on Spain's Canary islands.
He returned to Paris at the end of January for more medical check-ups.
Bacai Sanha won presidential elections in July last year with 67 percent of the vote and was inaugurated in September, six months after his predecessor Joao Bernardo Vieira was assassinated by the military.
