This has paved the way for Colombian cartels to use it as a transhipment hub for tons of narcotics destined for Europe and the United States. Next month, Guinea Bissau's caretaker government is due to publish a road map to elections that African and Western diplomats hope will close the book on decades of political turmoil since independence from Portugal in 1974. The US Department of Justice accused armed forces chief, General Antonio Indaj of plotting to traffic cocaine to the United States and sell weapons to rebel forces in Columbia. Widely seen as the country's most powerful man, he remains in Bissau after evading the sting. The question for many is how he will react to becoming a target for American law enforcement agencies.
