The Republic of Guinea is located in western Africa and borders Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Senegal, and Cote d’Ivoire, and has coastline on the North Atlantic Ocean. The population is about 11.4 million people. The government is a republic with a president as chief of state and a prime minister as head of government.
Guinea gained independence from France in 1958 and was ruled by dictatorial leaders for years. The first president, Ahmed Sekou Toure, worked toward a socialist agenda and during his 26-year tenure, thousands of people were tortured, killed or disappeared. The country held its first democratic elections in both 2010 and 2013 and inaugurated a new National Assembly in 2014. There are hopes for the development of democracy in Guinea.
In spite of Guinea’s rich natural resources, the country remains one of the poorest in the world. Tourism is not as developed as in some other African countries, and outside Conakry, there is little infrastructure for tourism. Travellers can visit the Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Haut Niger National Park, the National Park of Niokolo-Badiar, and many areas that are ideal for hiking.

Guinea中的安全性
人身安全
幾內亞面臨嚴峻的安全挑戰。科納克里及其他城區常見輕微犯罪,包括扒手、搶錢包和車輛竊盜。犯罪者經常在機場以及市場、旅館和餐廳等人流密集的場所將外國人作為目標。搶劫和襲擊事件頻繁,犯罪活動在白天和天黑後尤其猖獗。有些案件涉及攜帶武器冒充警察或軍人。入室竊盜事件頻繁,竊賊可能持有武器。應避免在夜間在科納克里以外地區出行。全國各地停電頻繁,當路燈和交通號誌故障時,犯罪率往往上升。天黑後抵達科納克里機場的外國人應提前安排機場接送服務。
極端暴力
幾內亞面臨的恐怖主義威脅雖然較低,但仍存在。由於幾內亞參與了聯合國在馬利的維和行動,它可能被「支持伊斯蘭和穆斯林」組織及其相關組織視為合法目標。這些恐怖組織主要在薩赫勒地區活動,包括鄰國布吉納法索和馬利,但由於邊境管控不嚴,威脅可能蔓延至該地區其他國家。恐怖攻擊的可能性不可排除,而且可能不分皂白,包括在外國人常去的場所,例如旅館、餐廳、市場和其他公共場所。
政治動盪
自 2021 年軍事政變以來,幾內亞經歷了嚴重的政治動盪。軍政府自 2022 年 5 月起禁止所有政治示威活動。儘管有禁令,抗議活動仍時有發生,並遭到安全部隊的暴力鎮壓。 2023 年和 2024 年的抗議活動導致多人死亡、數十人受傷,數百人被捕。安全部隊對示威者使用了催淚瓦斯、實彈和武力。抗議活動可能在毫無預警的情況下開始,並迅速演變成暴力事件。示威者縱火焚燒建築物,用燃燒的輪胎設置路障,並向車輛投擲石塊。犯罪分子經常利用抗議期間的交通擁堵搶劫司機和行人。邊境地區軍事力量增強,局勢往往緊張。示威和罷工可能會擾亂包括公路運輸和國際航班在內的基本服務。
應避免的區域
由於跨境軍事和叛亂活動、可能演變為暴力的族群間緊張關係以及武裝搶劫,應避免前往科特迪瓦、利比里亞、馬利和塞拉利昂邊境地區。在與馬利接壤的邊境地區,外國人被綁架的風險日益增加。森林幾內亞的恩澤雷科雷鎮面臨族群間暴力衝突的風險。弗里亞等工業城市因停工和原材料取得引發的緊張局勢而發生衝突。科納克里郊區暴力劫車事件的風險較高。由於夜間安全隱患和安全問題增加,應在夜幕降臨前離開科納克里半島。
