Introduction

There are a few countries on earth with the same name, everyone knows about South and North Korea because they frequently make their way to the headline but other twins like Cyprus and Northern Cyprus, or DR Congo and R Congo. We’re going to introduce the least known twins, Guinea and Guinea Bissau, the twins who were separated since birth!

Guinea and Guinea Bissau are always among the least visited countries in the world which means, no tourists around, except you, or in other words, you’ll have the entire countries to yourself, something like the Sunny islands of Comoros!

Exciting, right? Let’s see what else these countries are hiding in themselves! We start with Guinea first!

Recent History of Guinea

Guinea was colonized by France, just like most of its neighbors at that time and in 1958 France was like, “Do you guys wanna remain a colony or become independent?” and everyone was like, “We still need you Dad!” except naughty Guinea who raised her hand and became one of the first independent states in the western Africa.

Guinea became independent on October 2, 1958 and that date was only the start of a not so fun roller coaster!

People in Guinea

Guinea is home to more than 12.4 million citizens. Almost all of them are of African descendants except for about 30,000 of them who are either French or Lebanese!

People are nice but military’s presence is felt everywhere which makes it hard to record by professional cameras, but smartphones are fine!
