Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Guinea-Bissau, Elections, Governance, Human Rights, Politics

The Democracy Index 2012 [1] from The Economist Intelligence Unit, published on March 19, 2013, places Guinea-Bissau second to last in the ranking, just before North Korea. The same day a coalition of civil society organizations released a roadmap with concrete proposals for the restoration of constitutional order following the military coup of April 2012 [2]. The report is available [3] [pt] in the blog of Casa dos Direitos (House of Rights)
