President, Prime minister[edit]

There are two inaccuracies in the Infobox. Embalo is president-elect, so he has not been inaugurated yet. Imbali has been prime minister for eleven days, but his predecessor Aristides Gomes has regained the position due to pressure from ECOWAS. See https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-09/guinea-bissau-s-prime-minister-resigns-after-11-days-in-role and https://africatimes.com/tag/aristides-gomes/. --Vanellus (talk) 06:47, 7 January 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Creole Speakers > 100% ?[edit]

"As for Creole, [...] 54% of population speak it as a first language and about 52% speaks it as a second language." -- 106% altogether? -- Wassermaus (talk) 22:34, 1 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Religion Discrepancies[edit]

The text of the religions section states "In 2010, a Pew Research survey found that Christianity is practiced by 62% of the country's population" This contradicts with the graph, which shows Christianity as 19.7%, and the Religion in Guinea-Bissau page which puts it at 22%, but based on a different source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heridfel37 (talk • contribs) 17:44, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
