Extractions: Guinea-Bissau BACKGROUND lingua franca spoken by at least 80 percent of the populationis Kriolo, a creole language based on Portuguese and the various African languages of Guinea-Bissau. Guinea-Bissau is one of the poorest countries in Africa. The minimum wage is about $14 per month; female and male literacy rates are 15.7 percent and 20.5 respectively; and life expectancy is only 47 years. At independence, the victorious liberation movement of Guinea-Bissau, PAIGC, the (African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde) introduced a political and economic order based on Marxist-Leninist principles. Procedures and results were not unlike those reported for Angola and Mozambique, where similar highly-centralized systems replaced the equally centralized and authoritarian Portuguese colonial order. Attempts to implement a socialized economy resulted in an inflated and inefficient state apparatus, reduction in productivity and increasing dependence on foreign aid, which now finances over 90 percent of the national budget. The determination to build a one-party state resulted in a massive onslaught of violations of fundamental human rights and the perpetuation of a political culture based on mutual fearthe government of its rivals, the people of the security forces. After formal independence in 1974 (the PAIGC had unilaterally declared Guinea-Bissau independent in 1973), the security forces of Luis Cabral's government executed about a hundred individuals suspected of collaboration with the Portuguese regime. After a failed coup attempt in 1978, even more met a similar fate and were buried in mass graves in the Oio region. In 1980, a successful

Extractions: Guinea BACKGROUND In 1958 Guinea voted in a referendum to be independent of Gaullist France. From 1958 until 1962 the country's President, Sekou Toure, tolerated multi-party politics. Thereafter, however, he started purging the country of its intellectuals and professional classes, and the government adopted a one-party state policy, an approach which was then very much in vogue in Africa. Under Sekou Toure Guinea suffered a repressive, personal rule, which did not allow for the development of any autonomous political or social institutions. The ruling party and the state became one, and all organs of the state were subordinated to the executive, which, in essence, was President Sekou Toure. High level corruption became the norm. The state also assumed the character of the President's ethnic group, the Malinke. The regime purged or forced into exile members of other ethnic groups, while others were killed, tortured, "disappeared" or imprisoned under the Preventive Detention laws. This period also saw the economic decay of the country. Economic entrepreneurship did not thrive in a climate where scholarship and political discourse were interpreted as political dissent and thus not encouraged. Throughout this period the official Guinean position on human rights held that people's collective rights took precedence over individual rightsan excuse that the government used to justify a lot of human rights violations. Guinea ratified the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights in 1982.

Extractions: Guinea The Republic of Guinea is located on the coast of West Africa, and its people have shared in the long, complex history of that region. By the 13th century, many local inhabitants had come under the influence of the Mali Empire, and as the Fula peoples migrated in from the north, they formed their own kingdom in the mountainous area of the country known as the Fouta Djallon. In spite of the stiff resistance put up by Guineans, France made the area an autonomous colony in the 1890s. Embittered by the Guinean desire for independence in 1958, the French withdrew all investment and any goods they could move. The hero of independence, Ahmed Sekou Toure, led the new nation into a political and economic isolation that preserved many cultural traditions, but at the expense of greater development. Since his death in 1984, people are more free to oppose the government but Guineans of different ethnic backgrounds have had difficulty sharing the national patrimony. Guinea has several distinct regions. Some 20% of the population live in the coastal areas of the Baga and Sousou peoples, who have been a dominant force in the government during the 1990s. In the Fouta Djallon another 40% of the people are the Fula who have always been underrepresented in national affairs. In Upper Guinea, the region of Sekou Toure, some 21% of the people are Malinke, descendents of the Mali Empire. The remaining peoples live in Forested Guinea in several such small groups as the Kissi, Kono, Guerze, and Toma. There is also a small Lebanese population in the cities and several thousand refugees from the conflicts of neighboring countries. French is the official language, taught in the schools since the 1980s, but over 100 local languages are spoken. The vast majority of Guineans are Muslims. There are a handful of Christians in and around the capital, and most of the people in the forested southeast follow animist religions.

Extractions: Although Guinea's mineral wealth makes it potentially one of Africa's richest countries, its people are among the poorest in West Africa. Guinea's relations with Liberia and Sierra Leone have been tense since their internal troubles spilled over in the form of refugees and border skirmishes. OVERVIEW FACTS LEADERS MEDIA After independence in 1958 Guinea severed ties with France and turned to the Soviet Union. But economic mismanagement and repression culminated in riots in 1977. These led to some relaxation of state control of the economy. But it was only after the death in 1984 of President Ahmed Sekou Toure, and the seizure of power by Lansana Conte and other officers, that the "socialist" experiment was abandoned - without reversing poverty. By autumn 2000 Guinea was home to about 500,000 refugees from Sierra Leone and Liberia, increasing the strain on its economy and generating suspicion and ethnic tension, amid mutual accusations of attempts at destabilisation and border attacks.

Extractions: Independent from France since 1958, Guinea did not hold democratic elections until 1993 when Gen. Lansana CONTE (head of the military government) was elected president of the civilian government. He was reelected in 1998. Unrest in Sierra Leone has spilled over into Guinea, threatening stability and creating a humanitarian emergency. Guinea possesses major mineral, hydropower, and agricultural resources, yet remains an underdeveloped nation. The country possesses over 30% of the world's bauxite reserves and is the second largest bauxite producer. Long-run improvements in government fiscal arrangements, literacy, and the legal framework are needed if the country is to move out of poverty. .
