Mohamed Lamine Sanha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mohamed Lamine Sanha (died 6 January 2007) was a Bissau-Guinean Naval Chief of Staff. Sanha was implicated in several attempted coups against the government of Guinea-Bissau. Sanha was an ally of 1998 coup leader, Ansumane Mané. One such attempted coup was that of December 2001, which was also led by Army Chief of Staff Almane Alam Camará. In August 2006, Sanha was detained after the government foiled an alleged coup by Sanha to kill the current Army Chief of Staff Batista Tagme Na Wai. In January 2007, Sanha was ambushed by armed men in civilian clothing. He eventually died on 6 January, sparking riots.
