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. .

See also Eastern and Southern Africa and Western Sudan Among the rich artistic traditions of the Guinea coast, we focus here on ancient Ife (also known as Ile-Ife), the cradle of contemporary Yoruba culture. Situated in the West African forest, Ife was the center of a trading network that capitalized on its accessibility from the Niger and several smaller rivers, from the West African coast, and from the savanna country to the north. Stone monoliths are characteristic of early Ife art, while in the latter half of the first millennium A.D. distinct styles of finely modeled terracotta representations and works in cast metal were developed and refined. This period is also significant for the emergence of lost-wax casting. While the smelting of metallic ores dates to the first millennium B.C., and by about 1000 A.D. iron and copper smelting techniques had spread throughout the continent, the complex technique of lost-wax casting began to be practiced only in the tenth century. This method of producing exquisitely refined brass works was first employed along the Guinea coast at Igbo-Ukwu, a region populated by Igbo peoples. Ife During what is known as Ife's Pre-Pavement period , human and animal figures in stone and terracotta become more common, and are depicted with increasing naturalism.

Archives The Country The islands are part of a group of islands of volcanic origin, which includes Equatorial Guinea. The soil is fertile and vegetation is rich. The south and west benefit from abundant rainfall. Although there are numerous micro-climates, the general climate conditions consist of a rainy season, from September through May, and a shorter, drier and cooler season from June through August. The main cash crops have traditionally been cocoa and coffee, but production has gone down steadily over the years. The population is made up of Angolares, descendants of Angolan slaves shipwrecked off the coast of Sao Tome in the 1500’s, now mainly fishermen; Forros , or Filhos da Terra , contract laborers mainly from Portugal’s other colonies, Angola, Cape Verde and Mozambique); and Tongas, descendants of the UNICEF UNDP UNFPA and WFP in common premises, the United Nations House UNICEF assistance: three distinctive periods: Year Name Title Nationality To be appointed Assistant Representative Boudewijn Mohr Assistant Representative The Netherlands Akhil Iyer Resident Project Officer Canada Roberto de Bernardi Resident Project Officer Italy Per Tamm Resident Project Officer Denmark No representation n.a.
