Guinea-Bissau Introduction Ravaged by protracted struggles for independence, civil conflict and guerrilla warfare, Guinea-Bissau is showing signs that it is slowly rising from the rubble. Multiparty democracy and foreign aid are helping, but internal unrest and troubles in neighboring Senegal continue to provide Guinea-Bissau with unwanted headaches. The current political stability is fragile and the impoverished country's future is uncertain, leading the UN to request that meetings seeking national reconciliation take place within the country. That said, Guinea-Bissau has escaped being trashed by tourists, and thanks to its small size it's relatively easy to travel around. With beautiful unspoiled scenery and plenty of wildlife, West African traditions and Portuguese colonial remains, Guinea-Bissau has a lot going for it. If you want to really get away from it all, the remote beaches of the Bijagos islands are hard to beat. In a country with more monkeys than tourists, you just need to watch out you don't eat one (monkey, that is). WarningFollowing a prolonged period of fighting in 1998 and 1999, and despite attempted military coups in November 2000 and December 2001, Guinea-Bissau is enjoying relative peace and stability. However, troubles between segments of the Guinea-Bissau military and the government continue, as do problems with Senegalese rebels near their common border, and reports of landmine accidents, muggings and fighting are frequent. Visitors are advised to avoid the northwestern area bordering Casamance in Senegal and the Mpack/São Domingos border crossing. Travelers coming into Guinea-Bissau from Senegal should use crossings in eastern Senegal. The situation is constantly changing; seek the latest embassy information before planning to visit Guinea-Bissau. Full country name: Republic of Guinea-Bissau GDP: US$1.2 billion
