Alliance missionaries report that the situation in Guinea, West Africa, remains unstable after soldiers negotiated a settlement with the president following a recent uprising. “The army mutiny is not over,” said the field director. “Some demands have been met, but the main camp is still controlled by the mutineers until all demands are met.”
Police have been shooting into the air and have made demands similar to those of the army. Also, workers are threatening to strike, and banditry has occurred on highways in broad daylight, which hasn’t happened previously. “Please continue praying for Guinea and our team there,” said Chris Braun, regional director for Africa.
