Description | Guinea-Bissau's President Malam Bacai Sanha has died in hospital in Paris, according to a statement from his office read over national radio.
The 64-year-old had travelled to France for medical treatment in late November after being taken seriously ill.
Mr Sanha was elected president in 2009 after years of unrest and coups.
Last month the United States warned its citizens in Guinea-Bissau that there was increased potential for political instability and civil unrest there. |
