Following the independence of Guinea-Conakry in 1958, the Lusophone liberation movements found support in this newly independent country for their campaigns against colonial rule. Guinea-Conakry was of great value to the liberation of Guinea (Bissau) due to its geographical proximity and cultural similarities. In addition, the anti-colonial and Pan-Africanist spirit of its first president, Ahmed Sékou Touré, provided a supportive environment for political demands. Its capital became a hub for political migration, exile, and resistance. This chapter examines the significance of Conakry and the Republic of Guinea as the headquarters for the decolonisation of Guinea (Bissau), where the liberation movements of “Portuguese” Guinea came together, leading to meetings, disputes, and, in the end, progress towards their goals.

摘要

Following the independence of Guinea-Conakry in 1958, the Lusophone liberation movements found support in this newly independent country for their campaigns against colonial rule. Guinea-Conakry was of great value to the liberation of Guinea (Bissau) due to its geographical proximity and cultural similarities. In addition, the anti-colonial and Pan-Africanist spirit of its first president, Ahmed Sékou Touré, provided a supportive environment for political demands. Its capital became a hub for political migration, exile, and resistance. This chapter examines the significance of Conakry and the Republic of Guinea as the headquarters for the decolonisation of Guinea (Bissau), where the liberation movements of “Portuguese” Guinea came together, leading to meetings, disputes, and, in the end, progress towards their goals.
