Quick news alert
Last night Guinea's President Lansana Conte died after a beign in ill health for many years. This morning, as expected, the military staged a coup and has taken power. The BBC has the best coverage of all the major international news carriers, and you should all go there for more information. I'm unsure what I am allowed to put on the blog, so I just wanted to let everyone know I am safe. We are confined to the compound in Conakry for the moment, which is really not a bad place to be holed up. The details are scare even in country, but this could be buisness as usual or it could be a disaster...it depends on how unified the army is behind the coup. My phone is on and charged, so if you give me a call I can get you some more details. But everyone should know i'm safe, and even if Conakry did get violent the Peace Corps/embassy wil make make sure we are all taken care of.
I will post a real entry tonight or tomorrow!
