GUINEA - Conakry

Guinea, officially the Republic of Guinea , is a coastal country bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Guinea-Bissau to the northwest, Senegal to the north, Mali to the northeast, Cote d'Ivoire to the southeast, and Sierra Leone and Liberia to the south. It is sometimes referred to as Guinea-Conakry after its capital Conakry, to distinguish it from other territories in the eponymous region such as Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea.

Fouta Djallon is a highland region in the center of Guinea, roughly corresponding with Middle Guinea. Fouta-and  consists mainly of rolling grasslands, at an average elevation of about 900 m (3,000 ft).
