A Few Words About Guinea...

Monday December 22, 2008
"For the first twenty years, we in Guinea have concentrated on developing the mentalist of our people. Now we are ready to move on to other business."

Ahmed Sékou Touré, first president of Guinea, as quoted in David Lamb's The Africans, 1985.

"Guinea, the little patch of earth where I first saw light...and the darkness."

Tierno Monénembo (aka Thierno Saďdou Diallo), Guinean novelist, from his work The Bush Toads, 1983.
