Guinea-Bissau's President Malam Bacai Sanha has died in hospital in Paris, national radio reports.

The 64-year-old, who became president in 2009, had travelled to France for medical treatment in late November after being taken seriously ill.

The nature of his illness has not been made public but he was known to suffer from diabetes.

Mr Sanha had initially been treated in intensive care in a hospital in neighbouring Senegal.

He died at the Val de Grace military hospital in the French capital.

The president had frequently been hospitalised abroad since becoming Guinea-Bissau's leader. His predecessor as president, Joao Bernardo Vieira, was assassinated by mutinous soldiers.

All those who were asking for revolution & upheaval, are you happy now?

Bull-shiit.What is the big deal if a president dies ? Abeg death should come and take jonathan asap !

teaf:

Jonathan is next.

You can go and kill him if he refuse to die,bloody murderer like you.

May his soul RIP. Wonder what I'll say if it were GEJ.

May my president live long to reap the reward of this subsidy removal. it really favor us and we will all say kudos to him and if it fails us = we simply vote pdp out of office and we will probe them

GEJ will not die soon, his death will put the country in a bigger problem.

Do you also wish GEJ death?

You guys should pray nothing happens to that guy cos if anything happens to GEJ, Nigeria as you know it now will go up in flames!

What killed him?
Blood Pressure (stress)? Bomb blast? Too much (1billion) food? Too much money?

Who killed him? Protesters? BH? :-x Bad wife? Bad advicers?

RIP, all d same, sir (if it is true)

It seems all the curse and swearing arising from Nigeria today may have gone wayyyy beyond target.

Jonathan can be rest assured that the next barrage will be smart and GPS enabled.

I am in touch with my pple back home. Lets wait and see

Says who ? Did Nigeria go in flames when yardua die ?

What a shame for the nation, that their president should die in foreign hospitals!

When are African leaders going to start doing the right thing? That country is not smaller than Cuba both in land mass and population as well as natural resources. They could have built at least one world class medical facility that can treat the president. If Cuba is renowned for their world class medical facilities, why not Guinea Bissau? I'm sure if you check his foreign bank account, you will find money enough to buy that Paris hospital.

I beg, keep your mouth shut.Which bigger problem? Let the shoeless fisherman die now. He deserves to go for good.

RIP Malam Sanha

Abegi! What happened when Abacha died? Even Abiola died and we still dey kampe. If anybody elects to kick a bucket, nothing will happen. People will cry and mourn, the rest will be 6 feet.

signs of the end of a world and the beginning of another

President Sahna was a good man. I was in that country last year September, The Guinea Bissau people talk more good about him the most important things he did for his people was electricity which at that time at rapid circulation, and some of very considerable development in that country within a short period of time in office. eg. The first street light open from Vieira aeroporto to town center about 15km long, and the road was reconstructed to the modern standard with traffic lights and pedestrian. Also Just build a new world class national assemble building which at almost completed by that time i was there. That country has nothing called natural resources except cashew export and some fishes, and despite witnesses many civil unrest there, the citizens are still happy people today and love foreigners most. Anyway RIP to him. But please don't wish other dead because only God give life and has the right to take it whenever he wish.

none of those u mentioned is GEJ and considering current political weather in nigeria, the last thing any sensible or peace loving nigerian will wish is that GEJ dies especially unnaturally.

next?

Has any body been told which of the foreign banks he laundered the Country's wealth?

Overtime history has proven that no one is above his nation, no one man's death would kill a nation, Abacha, Abiola, Aguyi-Ironsi, Murtala Mohammed, Yar Adua all died during sensitive and more precarious situations in Nigeria and the Nation moved on, so if GEJ sleeps and does not wake up, we would move on to the next thief,   

Millions are dying everyday owing to his laxity, why has the nation not crumbled? i guess because the sacrificed Nigerians don't hold exalted positions?

What were his policies? Was he a good leader or a puppet?

Its like one has to be ugly to be a president in most of the Africa countries.

that is a good news. our african leaders are so silly that their deaths will bring joy to the citizens.
if the same death will come to our country, we will appreciate it since it is presidents' deaths. we are waiting

WHY Is this clueless better than them or is it becouse he is a militant? Abegi!!! let the M0Mu pass on anyhow.

iyes:
