    Meanwhile, Guinea Bissau’s new armed forces chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Verisimo Siabra Correia, said on Monday the government would not tolerate any attempt by outside forces to destabilise the country. He was speaking at a ceremony marking the anniversary of the army mutiny that finally ousted Vieira, AFP reported. Local analysts interpreted this remark as a reference to the intervention by Guinea and Senegal in 1998.
