AB  - This paper considers the emergence of ethnic ruptures in the Guinea-Bissau Armed Forces. It
takes as its starting point the fact that, despite efforts that date back to initiatives implemented
by the political wing of the PAIGC (African Party for Independence in Guinea and Cape
Verde, Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde in Portuguese) during
the war of independence, “ethnic empathy” is rife in the military and, at key moments, overrides
the comradeship that is supposed to form the basis of relations between military
personnel. In fact, as I aim to demonstrate, not only do personal loyalties to military leaders
frequently supersede the chain of command, many higher-ranked officials also frequently use
the “weight” of their ethnicity (and a corresponding network of relations inside different
military units) as a bargaining chip, as well as a weapon and a shield. This is especially true in
regards to the distribution of profits accrued from drug trafficking. The situation is all the
more intriguing given that the cohesion of Guinea-Bissau’s social fabric is generally speaking
fairly good, despite its huge ethnic diversity. It is therefore important to ascertain the
reason(s) why the situation should be so different within the realm of the Armed Forces.
