"Guinea-Bissau, which is situated in West Africa, is one of the world’s poorest countries. On 12 April 2012, the day the election campaign was to begin in the country, there was a military coup in which both interim President Raimundo Pereira and Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Júnior were removed from office and arrested. This was a severe blow for the population because the country’s instability, which had already endured for decades, became even worse. In addition, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) imposed sanctions on the state, which are likely to cause further damage to the already fragile economy for a long period to come. Nonetheless, these sanctions might be a way to stop the methods that the military is using against the population and which infringe their human rights. I voted in favour of the resolution because I feel that the EU must also do all it can to allow political stability to return to Guinea-Bissau in order to avert humanitarian disasters in the medium term that would, in turn, be the start of significant migration."@en1
