Guinea-Bissau is a country plagued by political instability since its independence in 1973. Several factors contribute to this situation, including weak economic development, the experience of the war of liberation and drug trafficking. The absence of investment and a strong private sector creates dependence on the state, leading to fierce struggles for control of power. The War of Liberation granted the military a special role in politics, favoring military intervention. As for drug trafficking, it has exacerbated political tensions and is used as a weapon in power struggles.
