THE WHOLE HISTORY OF GUINEA
Hello Guys:
Welcome to Countries Facts so today in this Article I will show you the whole history of Guinea this is africa and here's guinea now let's have a look shall we guinea for thousands of years was a land of hunters who ended up farmers the bhaga people were skilled sculptors and among the earliest inhabitants of the land today however they are a small minority as other tribes like the fula and mandinka migrated in and grew more numerous around the 11th and 12th century mark the religion of islam was introduced from northern traders of the berber al mohaved empire of morocco and ended up becoming the region's majority faith guinea became part of the mali empire and housed several of its important towns but another malian power ended up dismantling it in the 17th century this same century saw the fula people waged jihad and carve out an islamic state in the highlands making quite a bit of cash trading with europeans on the coast french colonial influence meanwhile was mushrooming a pace and while their expansion was arduously resisted by the forces of samori tori in the mandingo wars he ended up beaten and guinea became part of french west africa the french amped up agricultural industries but in 1958 guinea gained independence with ahmed seku turi as first president the great grandson of samar hitori he became a dictator and figured out a highly effective technique to make sure his enemies didn't challenge him murder yes like many tyrants he began to see enemies everywhere and killed as many as he could before he died of a heart attack in 1984. in the following years ginny did what it could to recover from the damages of that regrettable regime but things remain rather tenuous president alfa conde elected in 2010 vowed to combat corruption that has himself been accused of that very thing in 2014 there was an outbreak of ebola and the following year saw increased investment in the mining sector guinea has lots and lots of bauxite a rock from which aluminium is extracted and while guinea today with a low level of human development faces several challenges reforms are being made and let's hope better times sit in store so that's it for guinea and that's all from me for now bye.
