    Guinea Bissau interim-President Malam Sanha apologised formally on Monday for the damage caused to four diplomatic missions and homes in Bissau when Military Junta forces swept Vieira out of power, Lusa reported. "We presented our formal apologies for what happened," he said after inspecting the damaged diplomatic missions of Cuba, France, Senegal and Sweden. Sanha was accompanied by interim Prime Minister Francisco Fadul. Sanha said the diplomatic premises had not been targets in the battle for the city early in May. The incidents, he said, should not hurt relations with these countries.
