Frequently asked questions
What does Guinea-Bissau mean
The name Guinea remains a source of debate: it is perhaps a corruption of an Amazigh (Berber) word meaning “land of the blacks.” The country also uses the name of its capital, Bissau, to distinguish it from Guinea, its neighbour to the east and south.
Is it safe to travel to Guinea-Bissau
Violent crime is common in Guinea-Bissau. Aggressive vendors, panhandlers, and occasionally criminals target foreigners at the Bissau airport and other crowded areas, especially Bandim Market in the centre of the capital.
Is Guinea-Bissau a poor or rich country
Guinea-Bissau
has been plagued by political instability since it became independent
in 1974, resulting in a lack of development and high poverty rates.
Which country colonised Guinea-Bissau
In the 19th century, it was colonized as Portuguese Guinea. Upon independence, declared in 1973 and recognised in 1974, the name of its capital, Bissau, was added to the country's name to prevent confusion with Guinea (formerly French Guinea).
What language does Guinea-Bissau speak
The popularly spoken language in Guinea-Bissau is Portuguese.
