Guinea Bissau, former Portuguese colony, gained independence in the mid seventies and was one of my first assignment while project officer in UNESCO. I recall long dirt roads with scattered homes built on the sides and painted in many bright colors. As the country is at the delta of a large river, it is mainly swampy but the land is rich in fruits and hardwood trees. The people are poor. My team mate, Rumiana Decheva from Timor Leste is now in Bissau and showed what it looks like today. After 40 years, so little change!
