Daily life in Guinea-Bissau

BISSAU, GUINEA-BSSAU - OCTOBER 05: A local man is seen sitting at the port of Bissau as daily life continues in Bissau, the capital of Guinea-Bissau on October 05, 2023. Located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, Bissau, which is both the capital and the largest city of the country, was founded by the Portuguese in 1687. Declared in 1973 as the capital immediately after Guinea Bissau declared its independence, this city enables the export of rubber, palm oil and peanuts produced in the country to the whole world through its port. Defined in the 19th century as 'Portuguese Guinea', Guinea Bissau, like other African countries, is rich in natural resources, but it is among the poorest countries in the world when the livelihood and purchasing power of the people are considered. In Guinea Bissau, the majority of the population consists of Muslims, Christians and Animists. (Photo by Annika Hammerschlag/Anadolu via Getty Images)
