About Alliance Guinea

Welcome to Alliance Guinea.   Bienvenue à Alliance Guinea.  Wo nou sene, ko tooli,  i ni sene.

On September 28, 2009, the Guinean military brutally cracked down on tens of thousands of unarmed protestors speaking out against military rule and junta leader Moussa Dadis Camara’s likely candidature for president. According to the International Red Cross, at least 157 people were killed, 1200 people wounded, and women and girls viciously raped in the capital city of Conakry that day.   This alliance of Americans, Guineans, and other friends of Guinea from around the world has been formed in response to these atrocities as a show of solidarity with people in Guinea and to serve as a forum for organizing in support of a transition to the democracy that has eluded Guinea for the past 51 years of independence.

Mission: To promote human rights and a peaceful, democratic transition to civilian rule in Guinea.

Approach: A worldwide, nonpartisan forum for friends of Guinea of all nationalities and ethnicities to share information and resources and create powerful synergies for advocacy and action.

What we do:

• Advocate to governments, international organizations and agenda setters in support of human rights and a peaceful, democratic transition in Guinea.
• Serve as a resource to human rights organizations, law clinics, and international agencies investigating human rights abuses in Guinea.
• Serve as a resource and nonpartisan, multiethnic forum for activists, journalists and victims of human righs abuses in Guinea.
• Conduct outreach and provide resources for educators and student groups to raise awareness and promote activism in support of human rights and democracy in Guinea.
