Sorry to sound callous but dictatorships and endless presidential terms  
that are forced on the people never have a good ending. A lesson for the  
 dictators of Africa.

BISSAU (Reuters) - Soldiers killed Guinea-Bissau's President Joao  
Bernado "Nino" Vieira on Monday, hours after the tiny West African  
state's army chief was killed in an attack, residents of the capital  
said.

Gunfire and the crump of heavier weapons resounded in Bissau city and it  
was unclear who was in control.

Two residents, who both declined to be identified, said they had been  
told by presidential guards that Vieira had been killed and his body was  
lying in his home.

The country of just 1.6 million people, a former Portuguese colony, has  
suffered years of coups and civil strife and has been used in the past  
few years as a conduit for smuggling Latin American cocaine to Europe.

Vieira is a former military ruler wh
o was ousted during a civil war in  
the 1990s and returned to power in a 2005 election.

He had been at odds with armed forces chief of staff General Batista  
Tagme Na Wai, who was killed in an attack on Sunday evening.

Tensions are rife within Bissau's political establishment and security  
forces. In January, the armed forces command said militiamen hired to  
protect President Vieira had shot at Na Wai.

A member of the militia denied the shooting had been an assassination  
attempt, but the armed forces command nevertheless ordered the militia  
be disbanded.

The 400-strong force had been recruited as Vieira's personal bodyguard  
by the Interior Ministry after the president was targeted in a  
machinegun and rocket-propelled grenade attack on his residence on  
November 23 last year.

Analysts say political instability has been exacerbated in the past few  
years as Latin American drugs gangs have taken advantage of  
Guinea-Bissau's poorly policed coastline and remote airstrips to smuggle  
cocaine through Africa to Europe.

They say well-resourced drug cartels with access to weapons, speedboats  
and planes have been able to secure cooperation from senior officials in  
the armed forces and government in one of the world's poorest countries,  
whose main export is cashew nuts.

The site has a very simple and elegant design going for it. It is not  
cluttered. I hope it maintain that attribute through the design process.  



My only suggestion at the moment is: why don't you place the pictures  
you have streaming behind the logo on your gallery page. This could help  
load the home page faster. This might not be terribly important for  
people living in Lithia Springs with a fat pipe streaming content to  
their hearts desire. However the guy in Badibu Kerewan logging in with a  
56K modem will not be please with you. But I digress.
