Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Guinea-Bissau, Citizen Media, Human Rights, Protest, Youth

The Guinean movement Ação Cidadã [1] (Citizen Action) [pt] released an open letter [2] [pdf] on May 8 “from a youth who wants to have their place in their own land in peace, with the freedom and progress they are entitled.” The document calls for young Guineans to mobilize peacefully for peace, democracy and freedom in Guinea-Bissau and denounces two recent episodes of assaults on young Guineans.
