ResumoAt 5 o'clock, in the early morning of Sunday, 7 June, shooting was heard from the military installations at Santa Luzia in north-eastern Bissau, capital of the West African republic of Guinea-Bissau, govemed under multiparty constitutional democracy since elections held in 1994. Fighting spread quickly to the military base at Bra, near the intemational airport, in the north-westem parts of the city. In a radio broadcast the same day, president Joao Bernardo 'Nino' Vieira held former commander-in-chief, brigadier Ansumane Mane, responsible for an armed revolt against the legal government.
