Riots and unrest

Well it turns out that Guinea really has gone down hill. All the peace corps volunteers have been evacuated from the country, and it does not look like they will be re-entering anytime soon. The US embassy has evacuated all non-essential staff. It saddens me to hear that things are going so much worse, but at the same time I can only hope that this will mean a change for the better sometime in the future. The situation can be followed more closely via the Friends of Guinea blog: http://friendsofguinea.blogspot.com/
