Change of travel advice to Guinea (09/10/2009)
We have amended our travel advice to Guinea on 9 October. We advise UK citizens to leave Guinea unless they have a pressing reason to stay.
The relevant summary point now reads:
"We advise UK citizens to leave Guinea unless they have a pressing reason to stay. The level of security in Guinea has deteriorated steadily since the coup in December 2008 and has been made worse by the shootings of 28 September in Conakry.
Although Conakry is currently relatively calm with the occasional shooting reported from within the military camps, we advise UK citizens to leave Guinea by whichever means are available to them. The airport and land borders are open."
