(B2) After the double assassination of the Chief of Staff and the Presidency of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, the small civilian ESDP security reform assistance mission (EU SSR) remains in place. According to its officials,the situation is tense but tenable. And there is no need for the moment to evacuate the members of the mission. There is a risk of failed state
