Guinea-Bissau has a small but resilient media landscape serving 2 million people in one of West Africa's smallest and most politically turbulent nations — having experienced more coups and attempted coups than almost any other country since independence from Portugal in 1974. Publishing primarily in Portuguese and Guinea-Bissau Creole (Crioulo), the country's press reflects its Lusophone heritage and its unique position as a bridge between Portuguese-speaking Cape Verde and Francophone West Africa.
