Abstract The military coup staged by Guinea-Bissau's army on the evening of 12 April 2012 was a striking situation in which there seemed not to be any meaningful central grip that resulted from the political processes of the country. Guinea-Bissau's recent history has four military coups since independence from Portugal in 1974. The latest military coup was the result of the cooperation among military officers, and foreign and local drug barons. For the first time in Africa's history, and in world history too, a country that was deemed by contemporary theories as a "failed", a "weak" or a "collapsed" state started to be called a "narco state". This essay aims at explaining why should the International community recognize Guinea-Bissau's narco state as a legitimate new form of state. | ||
