Guinea

Guinea, officially known as the Republic of Guinea, is a West African country bordered by Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. With a population exceeding 12 million people, Guinea boasts a rich cultural heritage and diverse ethnic groups, such as the Fula, Malinke, and Susu. The country's economy is primarily dependent on mining, particularly for bauxite, the main mineral used in aluminum production. Despite its abundant resources, Guinea faces socio-economic challenges including poverty, illiteracy, and political instability. However, Guinea's natural beauty, including picturesque landscapes, waterfalls, and wildlife, attracts tourists who are eager to explore its rugged mountains and vibrant markets.
