Current Political Environment Current Political Environment  Guinea’s Government is Republic  The Political System is a Democracy  The President is Lansana Conté  The Prime Minister is Lansana Kouyaté who was appointed by the President  A major political movement in Guinea is the change from a military government to a democratic government, but is yet completed  The last presidential election was held on June 19, 2005

The four-day pre-Lent celebrations and parades are a chance for music, dance and culture of the country's different ethnic groups.

The Future of Guinea What I Believe the future holds for Guinea:  Guinea will change to a democratic government  It will become a huge country of export, because they are on the coast, and have many useful exports  It’s population will increase, because many people from other countries in Africa will want to move there due to good agriculture, useful exports, and needed imports
