Guinea is a country in West Africa, rich in natural resources like bauxite (used for aluminium) and diamonds, but it remains one of the world's poorest nations. Its capital, Conakry, is a bustling port city where many people live in challenging conditions. The recent waste dump tragedy underscores the infrastructure and development issues faced by the country.
