The President of Guinea Bissau, Malam Bacai Sanha, died yesterday at the military hospital Val de Grâce in Paris, where he received treatment from the month of December, the country's diplomatic sources African.
A spokesman for the Embassy of Guinea Bissau, who said not to be able to specify the cause of the death of Sanha, of 64 years, nor the condition that it was entered from shortly before Christmas in the Val de Grâce (a center that frequently welcomes international personalities), told Efe that the death occurred on the morning of yesterday.
The spokesman said that the Ambassador of Guinea Bissau was in the hospital at that time.
The now deceased President had been elected in elections in July 2009, when he defeated in the second round to the former ruler Kumba Yalla.

In late December, when Sanha was already entered in the Val de Grâce, there was a military coup foiled in Guinea Bissau.
