Guinea

Guinea (/ni/ ( listen)), officially the Republic of Guinea (French: Republique de Guinee), is a country on the western coast of Africa. Formerly known as French Guinea (French: Guinee francaise), the modern country is sometimes referred to as Guinea-Conakry in order to distinguish it from other countries with ''Guinea'' in the name and the eponymous region, such as Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea. Guinea has a population of 12.4 million and an area of 245,860 square kilometres (94,927 sq mi).
