      Introduction Guinea

      Background:

       Guinea has had only two presidents since gaining its independence

       from France in 1958. Lansana CONTE came to power in 1984, when the

       military seized the government after the death of the first

       president Sekou TOURE. Guinea did not hold democratic elections

       until 1993 when Gen. CONTE (head of the military government) was

       elected president of the civilian government. He was reelected in

       1998 and again in 2003. Unrest in Sierra Leone and Liberia has

       spilled over into Guinea on several occasions over the past decade,

       threatening stability and creating humanitarian emergencies.
