Former UN peacekeepers revolt for back pay
2004-10-07
I'd laugh 'cept I should cry.
Mutinous soldiers demanding pay for peacekeeping duty abroad killed the commander of Guinea-Bissau's armed forces on Wednesday and seized key buildings in the capital of the former Portuguese colony. Portuguese foreign ministry spokesman Antonio Carneiro Jacinto said the mutineers had killed Gen. Verissimo Seabra Correia, the man who ousted Kumba Yalla as president of Guinea-Bissau in a coup last year. Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Junior appealed for calm in the West African country, which has a history of instability, and sent a delegation including the United Nations special representative to negotiate with the leaders of the mutiny.
"Cheez, guys, calm down already! I got the boodle right here!"
