1985 Guinea-Bissau coup attempt

In 1986 the government of Guinea-Bissau announced the trial of 12 high ranking politicians and generals, including Vice-president Paulo Correia for plotting to stage a coup. However, some observers claim that the "coup plot" was just a justification for President João Bernardo Vieira to purge dissidents in the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) and Revolutionary Armed Forces of the People (FARP).
