Guinea Conakry In West Africa Is Completely Independent

- Guinea Conakry is the only Francophone country in Africa to get complete independence from France in 1958, choosing to have its own currency and manage its own finances. In this video I show you the capital city of Conakry like never seen before.
I started the tour from the center point of the city and proceeded to the country's main business and administrative districts.
Guinea, officially known as the Republic of Guinea, is a West African country located on the Atlantic coast. Its capital and largest city is Conakry, which is also the country's economic and cultural center.
Guinea is bordered by Guinea-Bissau to the northwest, Senegal to the north, Mali to the northeast, Ivory Coast to the east, Sierra Leone to the southwest, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
In 1958, France offered its African colonies a choice regarding their future status within the French Community. The French government proposed two options:
Autonomous Republic: African colonies could choose to become autonomous republics within the French Community, maintaining ties to France but with some degree of self-governance.
Complete Independence: Alternatively, they could opt for complete independence and sever their ties with France.
Guinea's decision to become an independent nation was a bold assertion of its sovereignty. It rejected continued colonial rule, signaling that Guineans wanted to determine their own destiny.
France, in response to Guinea's decision, withdrew abruptly, taking with it technical experts, infrastructure, and resources. This economic isolation posed significant challenges for the newly independent nation.
However Guinea's decision aligned with the principles of Pan-Africanism, advocating for African unity, self-reliance, and solidarity.
Today Guinea's economy is heavily dependent on its vast mineral resources, including bauxite, gold, diamonds, and iron ore. The country is one of the world's leading producers of bauxite, a key ingredient in aluminum production.
The population of Guinea was estimated to be around 13 million people in 2021. The country has a relatively youthful population, with a significant percentage of its people under the age of 25.
As a Guinean we’re so proud of being the leader of resistance to the west after millions challenges from our own brothers Sénégal 🇸🇳 and Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 in particular 8:08 who for centuries have been helping the west especially France 🇫🇷 to sabotage everything we built. We did 17 years of wars to the west under Samory Toure and won many battles. We won another attack from western armies combines ( Portugal 🇵🇹, Germany 🇩🇪, France 🇫🇷 and US 🇺🇸) with 6 western war ships and planes under Sekou Toure. We’ll fight the west till our last breath. Revolution will never die…
As a Nigerian from Nigeria 🇳🇬 I congratulate you and everyone in guinea 🇬🇳 may our ancestor sekou toure and the spirit of all our forefathers bless us 🙏 long live Africa
One love and respect from Ghana.
Thank you for your kind gesture to our hero Kwame Nkrumah, when he needed it most.
The place looks clean!
@@TheRamamedia yes brother, Kwame NKruma was received in Guinea as a king and elected as Co-President of Guinea and held that title till his death to save his honor and dignity when the west tried to humiliate him. But the sad part is we never heard anything positive from Ghana 🇬🇭 authorities about Sekou Toure. We still consider Ghana as our twin brother. In my entire life you’re the first Ghanian I’ve heard thanking Sekou Toure. Thanks 🙏.
@@moosshabaz90 Forever grateful.🙏🏿
There has been a lot of deliberate miseducation in Ghana after Nkrumah's overthrow. Bit by bit, the internet reveals the facts.
May God bless Guinea and the great people of Guinea 🇬🇳 Ameen Ya Rahman Ya Raheem
Ameen inshallah thanks
Thank you for showing my country in a very positive way. We are grateful.
Conakry, a beautiful, clean City
Greetings from the Republic of Somaliland !
The only African country that do whatever they want without any western interference 💪💪💪❤️❤️ Guinea my life
I'm Nigerian. I must admit I never thought twice about Guinea Conakry. The place is beautiful and looks exactly like downtown Dakar. African countries (and Africans) really have to do more to dispel the idea that others (and sometimes we) have about what contemporary Africa is or looks like!! Shout out to my folks from Guinea Conakry.
Because of the media we consume, we tend to perceive other African countries as poor. I’m a Guinean, I think poverty when I hear Nigeria but watching African CZcamsrs have changed my perception
It's looks so beautiful. Have to visit
Very nicely done Matthew, you are a great promotor of West Africa!👍👍
Thank you
Try visiting Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 also. Can't wait to see the video.
Beautiful country
Thanks for this amazing Vlog of Guinee, especially the beautiful city of Conakry. This is Africa we don't see on TV'S, hardly to see beautiful images like this on Western media, only shows hungers & war's , thanks again of this incredible Vlog of Conakry. 👍 👌 🔥 🔥🔥
As a Ghanaian/Malian I love the rich history we share with Guinea . ❤️
ghana restera à nos soeur
We're also proud of that history we share
@@madjallow5304 but west African cities are relatively less developed than east/southern African cities.
All others African countries should stand up and be no puppet leaders .
Guinea is a beautiful the Guinean are serious people Keep up the Good work
When Guinea choose complete independence from France, France pour concrete in their water system and destroy schools, books, offices, buildings etc. France didn't leave quietly.
Really? is this evidenced somewhere?
@@fistandpen2505 The former AU ambassador to the UN, Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao, spoke about this in her speeches.
A friend of Africa here. What a fantastic video! Africa Views, you are among the BEST CZcamsrs. Your videos are informative. You are very educated, and well informed, too. Kudos! I like your various videos. Please keep up the good work for African. Kudos to you for promoting Africa. Stay blessed, healthy, and safe.
thank you
Seems like a decent city,l hope they find peace and prosperity.Every african country must be truly free and sovereign not just on paper.Thank you for your hardworking mate!
Please continue to do more of these drive videos. I have enjoyed seeing the country but hope to see more rural areas too. Thank you.
Thank you
Very beautiful video I am from East Africa and live in NY, I will probably visit one day.
Hi am from guinea can we be friends
Guineans, you have done a great job in keeping your city clean. Yes there are some buildings that could do with a paint job but from what I see here you really take care of your home. great job guys, I can't remember the last time I saw a town look this clean in my home country.
I’m from Guinea, do not be fooled by this video. The city is an absolute mess. Yes the main center looks good. But you leave it and the roads are horrible, no trash system, no sewer system, nothing
I recently visited Dakar, Senegal which I didn’t like much. Conakry, Guinea is way more beautiful and much cleaner
Where are you from Dakar is more beautiful lol
Great video. This full independence is thanks to Ahmed Sekou Toure Legend ❤️.
i from guinea i speak pulaar
Yes, and yes they were not stupid, .... to sign some frivolous, ....agreements with France 🇫🇷. Thanks to the late Sekou Toure!
If only the other francophone countries had opted to do as Guinea had done!
😄😄
But they still receive aid from France and the EU
@@gibson2675 And that's even more stupid. It seems like some group of people want something for free ---- that's wrong and then they will have no voice to speak ---- yes no voice, none whatsoever. It makes one wonder because such behaviour/behavior will be unproductive, ......!
@@gibson2675Not at the level of all the sabotage of guinean economy by France and its african demons !
Thanks for this informative video
Lovely. I lift Guinea 🇬🇳 send 2002. I am from Liberia, presently in Australia 🇦🇺
Great video! Can’t wait to go back!!
Conakry looks better than I usually thought of it.
The city has a proper downtown/CBD.
Nice video
Great effort and continue to fight for your freedom from colonial rule....I salute you from Papua New Guinea
What a beautiful country. No wonder France won’t let go.
Thanks 🎉🎉🎉
Very good documentary.
Woah, the place looks really nice 👍
Africa is really movin forward 👊🍾
Wow! Guinea is very clean and beautiful.
Guinea is probably the ONLY sovereign nation in West Africa, they achieved real independence on their own terms.
They also share border with Liberia 🇱🇷 sir
Things are getting better there
Super se très joli a voir
Great video.
Wow I really love atmosphere is an amazing
Wowww this is so beautiful.
Nice ❤❤❤
Nice video
We've heard it so many times that Africans can not manage their affairs & their countries are underdeveloped. They live in trees etc. Conakry looks much better than the so many run down places in America. I didn't see homelessness in this city, so clean, well painted buildings, an organised road network, no over population, bike taxis are almost none existant, green everywhere. What I see is breathtaking. Thank you for the video.
Les médias mensongères
Ma Guinée Conakry 🇬🇳🇬🇳❤❤
very nice
The good things is that France is not controling our economy like in Sénégal,ivory cost,cameroon and so on
🔥🔥🔥
Please I want to get proper information from you, Guinea conakry, Guinea Bissau, Equatorial guinea, are they different countries ? Or are they same country because I'm confuse
@@tonyanaka6359they are different countries but the republic of guinea got it’s independence fist
The other countries came later
Assalamualaikum selamat untuk timnas Guinea atas timnas Indonesa kami sangat senang bisa jumpa timnas Guinea 😊🇮🇩
Very nice, watching from India
Nice
Wow Guinea is a beautiful country and the country really improved compare to when i was there .
Africa Views, a friend and fan of Africa hete. I looked at the map of Africa. Seemingly, the Republic of Guinea - AKA Guinea-Conakry - is bordered by six (6) countries. Guinea is bordered by GUINEA-BISSAU to the northwest, SENEGAL to the north, MALI to the northeast, COTE D'IVOIRE to the southeast, and LIBERIA and SIERRA LEONE to the south. Nice video. Hats off to you! Remember, "Promoting (West) Africa, Non-Stop."
Very brilliant and powerful people you are amazing stand up for the benefits of the people.
OHHH MON DIEU JE SUIS HAITIENNE JE NE SAIS PAS OU ALLER EN AFRIQUE ❤
Guinea et Cote d'ivoire
Sénégal 🇸🇳 et toutes l'Afrique t'attend
Partout en afrique noire tu sera toujours la bienvenue. Ici c'est chez toi donc ça sera selon ta volonté ❤
Avec une bonne comportement sinon sa n'ira pas du tout
Sekou Toure was the best president Guine Conacry ever had ever will he stand against these neocolonization especial France he realy like really detest France
The French did to Guinea what they did to Haiti, but now France only has a past, while Guinea and Haiti have a future
Tu ne connais vraiment rien de l'histoire.
En quelle année Haïti à pris son indépendance ??? Donc jusqu'à ce jour, plus d'un siècle et demi plutard, c'est toujours la faute de la France s'ils sont à ce niveau ???
La Chine était à quel niveau dans les années 40 et 50 ??? Aujourd'hui où sont-ils juste 70 ans plutard ???
Arrêtez maintenant d'accusé la France de l'échec de vos dirigeants. Ça suffit, il faut assumer ces responsabilités.
Merde à la fin.
@@laloikila7855C'est plutôt toi qui ne maîtrise pas trop l'histoire. Certes on a aussi notre part de responsabilité mais le système franceafrique ne nous permettra jamais de décoller. Pose toi de bonnes questions de savoir pourquoi les payz d'Afrique anglophones sont largement devant nous? Pour il n'ya pas de coup d'état dans ces pays ?
Lol, okay, if you say so...
You can not compare Guinea to Haïti
Firstly ,Guinea is located in Africa , and had their indepedence not as long as Haïti
So ,please no comparision okay
You can not compare , Guinea ,and Haïti are not the same at all
Haiti had their independence for a longtime ago
And ,we are not in the same continent
Guinea will always stand out. God bless Guinea, God bless African!
Wow dint know guena was this beautiful
That is my country land of beautiful woman
Guinea my home can't wait to go back.
Road network look good
Je suis vraiment surpris que Conakry soit aussi belle 😮😮😅.
Donc la Guinée est bien plus développé que le Mali et le Burkina alors ???🤷
Suis vraiment surpris de la Guinée. Bravo à vous.
Tu penses vraiment que les ivoiriens ont un meilleur niveau de vie en Côte d'Ivoire que les guinéens ?
@@user-vl2nf9uf4r Entre les guinéens et les ivoiriens qui est plus dans le pays de l'autre ???
La réponse répond à ta question. N'importe quoi
Il nya pas guinéen en Côte d'Ivoire car les djoulà ne viens de la guinée.
En guinée l'ethnie djoula n'existe pas .
Donc revoir vos statistiques 😅😅😅à la l'ambassade guinée en guinée en Côte d'Ivoire sont pas tous guinéen de nationalité 😅
@@mohamedfofana1941 Tu te drogue l'ami😂. Il ya plus d'un millions de guinéens en Côte d'Ivoire.
@@laloikila7855tout le guineen qui sont a civ on rien dans nortre pays demande un terrain ca coute combien en guinee apres tu vas comprendre pti ivoirien
Very beautiful city
"political independence is meaningless without economic independence " Sekou Toure. A visionary African leader.
The streets are not crowded at all. This is an excellent video and overview of Guinea Conakry🌍 Thanks🙏🏾🫶🏽
Accra should take note
This is possible only ,when you have leaders who are able to dream or who have a vision,another words ,people who are able to see beyond their nose!
I am from Forest Guinea with a lot of trees and foods
❤❤
The Republic of Guinea in West Africa is home to some of Africa's greatest acrobats (some people say it is the home to Africa's greatest acrobats). Guinea recruits children and young adults living on the streets (young adults frequeting the streets more often) and trains them up in acrobatics and contortionism, while providing training and literacy. programs. Additionally, I believe Liberia also has some of Africa's great (if not some of the greatest) acrobats.
👑🦅
Cleaner and more peaceful than most European cities.
Walau negara miskin to tata ruang kota sangat bagus dan bersih.
Wow❤this city is very beautiful but im wondering why is so empty🤔... sending 🎉from Kenya 🇰🇪...
it' on sunday morning
What is your country's world ranking in the G20 or G7?
O yes. Thanks to the tiredless efforts and the consistency of the forefathers of the land (Guinea Republic).Much has shown as a spectacle from where other nations could copy..... but are they ready to put aside meaningless differences to forge ahead?????
Thank's Afrca now❤❤❤❤❤guinée is good
We Indonesians live a relaxed life and don't have to pursue work like other countries. Can your country live a relaxed life like us Indonesians?
♥️🙏🏿🙏🏿
Begini pelatih timnas guinea meremehkan negara Indonesia.. Tapi sudah sadar sih menarik uapannya
Derelict businesses on one side of the road and stacked high on the the other...

The coach of this country's football team says Indonesia is poor, hmmm, I don't know what country Indonesia is
in Indonesia it's just a small town
It’s normal, because we are not as much as Indonesian. We’re just 13 million people.
Wow, not the Conakry I know. Been there many, many times and love the city/country but WHERE ARE ALL THE PEOPLE, THE TAXI, THE CARS, THE MOTOS, THE PERSONS DIRECTING TRAFFIC AT CRAZY ROUND-ABOUTS, THE VENDORS..... always a city teaming with LIFE everywhere. This must be a city on lockdown.
