Guinea unrest

There appears to be some unrest in the Republic of Guinea, which shares borders with both Sierra Leone and Liberia. Hundreds of people have died in the last couple of weeks in riots and fighting around the capital, Conakry. I remember the same happening nearly 3 years ago when we lived in Liberia and I attended a meeting in Monrovia of UN officials and representatives from both local and international NGOs - we discussed what we could do if northern Liberia suddenly saw an influx of refugees escaping the unrest in Guinea. I'm sure I saw several NGO directors rubbing their hands in glee at the thought of more emergency funding coming their way. Maybe they are doing it again right now. Very sad. Olly
