The document reports on the established of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau after people in the 75% of the Guinea Bissau countryside liberated by the P.A.I.G.C. elected 80 members of a National Popular Assembly, along with 40 representatives elected from the party. Luiz Cabral, brother of the assassinated Amilcar Cabral who founded the P.A.I.G.C., was installed as the first President of the Republic. More than 70 countries, including 39 African countries, Russia, China, and the Scandinavian countries have recognized the Republic of Guinea-Bissau. The Organization of African Unity is moving to invite the new government to become a member. The U.S. Government has refused to recognize it.
