| dbo:abstract | 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 Ansumane Mané, who led the military rebellion against President Nino Vieira in the 1998 civil war. Sanha was part of the military junta that ousted Vieira. Subsequently, as head of the navy, he released a South Korean ship that had been held on 18 April 2000 for fishing in Guinea-Bissau's waters without permission; he said that he was prepared to face the consequences of this decision. On April 28, 2000 he was dismissed from his post as head of the navy by President Kumba Yala. He refused to leave his post, however, saying that only the armed forces chief of staff could dismiss him. Yala and Mané met to discuss the issue on May 23, and they decided that Sanha should leave the naval base he was occupying and wait for a court to rule on his case; Yala agreed to postpone the appointment of a replacement for Sanha indefinitely. Sanha accordingly left the base on May 26. When fighting broke out between the government and forces loyal to Mané in November 2000, leading to Mané's death, Sanha was arrested by the government and was appointed to replace him as naval chief of staff in early 2001. Sanha and former Army Deputy Chief of Staff were accused of leading a coup attempt that was alleged to have occurred on December 3, 2001 and were arrested. After Tagme Na Wai became Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, he announced the reintegration of 65 senior officers into the military, including Sanha, on December 1, 2004; Na Wai appointed Sanha as his naval advisor. Accused of plotting to kill Na Wai and attempt another coup, Sanha was briefly detained in August 2006. According to Sanha, he received death threats. On 4 January 2007, Sanha was shot outside his home in Bissau by men said to have been wearing civilian clothing. He would die of his wounds on 6 January, sparking riots. In a statement on 8 January, the government condemned Sanha's killing and vowed to capture those responsible, but former Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Junior, the President of PAIGC, accused President Vieira of involvement in the murder; as a result, the government issued an arrest warrant for Gomes. Bissauan civilians in the District, a suburb of the capital, Bissau, rioted in protest against the killing. The police opened fire on the protesters, killing one man. Two suspects, Bubacar Seidi dit Imba Seidi and Dauda Tcham, were arrested. They have denied guilt. (en) Mohamed Lamine Sanha (falecido em 6 de janeiro de 2007) foi um Chefe do Estado-Maior Naval da Guiné-Bissau e esteve implicado em várias tentativas de golpe de Estado contra o governo da Guiné-Bissau. Sanha foi um aliado de Ansumane Mané, que liderou a rebelião militar contra o presidente Nino Vieira na guerra civil de 1998. Sanha fez parte da junta militar que derrubou Vieira. Posteriormente, como chefe da marinha, liberou um navio sul-coreano que tinha sido detido em 18 de abril de 2000 por pescar nas águas da Guiné-Bissau sem autorização; declarando que estava preparado para enfrentar as consequências dessa decisão. Em 28 de abril de 2000, foi demitido de seu posto como chefe da marinha pelo presidente Kumba Yala. Recusou-se a deixar seu posto, no entanto, afirmando que apenas o chefe das forças armadas poderia demiti-lo. Yala e Mané se reuniram para discutir a questão em 23 de maio e decidiram que Sanha deveria deixar a base naval que ocupava e esperar que um tribunal decidisse sobre seu caso; Yala concordou em adiar a nomeação de um substituto para Sanha indefinidamente. Sanha, consequentemente, deixaria a base em 26 de maio. Quando os combates irromperam entre o governo e as forças leais a Mané em novembro de 2000, levando à morte de Mané, Sanha foi preso pelo governo e Quirino Spencer foi nomeado para substituí-lo como chefe naval no início de 2001. Sanha e o ex-chefe do Estado-Maior do Exército Almane Alam Camará foram acusados de liderar uma tentativa de golpe que supostamente teria ocorrido em 3 de dezembro de 2001 e foram presos. Depois que Tagme Na Wai tornou-se chefe do Estado-Maior das Forças Armadas, ele anunciou a reintegração de 65 oficiais superiores às forças armadas, incluindo Sanha, em 1 de dezembro de 2004; Na Wai nomeou Sanha como seu conselheiro naval. Acusado de conspirar para assassinar Na Wai e tentar outro golpe, Sanha foi brevemente detido em agosto de 2006. Em 4 de janeiro de 2007, Sanha foi baleado fora de sua casa em Bissau por homens que supostamente usavam roupas civis. Ele morreria em 6 de janeiro, provocando vários distúrbios na cidade. Em uma declaração em 8 de janeiro, o governo condenou o assassinato de Sanha e prometeu capturar os responsáveis, mas o ex-primeiro-ministro Carlos Gomes Júnior, presidente do Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde (PAIGC), acusou o presidente Vieira de envolvimento no assassinato; como resultado, o governo emitiu um mandado de prisão para Gomes.
