I need to learn about Guinea. What can you tell me? 
 Well hello. I can tell you that Guinea, or the Republic of Guinea, is an independent nation in western Africa. The official language is French since Guinea declared its independence from France on October 2, 1958. 
 French language? Cool. What else can you tell me about their history? 
 France negotiated Guinea's present boundaries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the British for Sierra Leone, the Portuguese for their Guinea colony and Liberia. 
 Did the British ever occupy Guinea? 
 Great question but I don't have access to that answer but i can tell you how in 1970, Portuguese Guinea staged Operation Green Sea, a raid on Conkary by several hundred exiled Guinean opposition forces. 
 Sounds like a rocky history. What troubles have they had reforming? 
 Well in reviews of the PRGF, the World Bank noted that Guinea had met its spending goals in targeted social priority sectors. 
 Can you tell me more about their financial situation? 
 Among their top money makers and attractions are the waterfalls found mostly in the Basse Guinee and Moyenne Guinee regions. 
 At least they have a tourist attraction. What more can you tell me about the problems they have had? 
 The French Financial Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation into President Alpha Conde's son, Mohamed Alpha Conde, in September 2015. 
 Really? Why was he investigated? 
 It doesn't specifically say. 
 Okay. Well, thank you for the information! 
 You're welcome.
