The brethren in Guinea-Conakry reached 12, a photo sent by Kamano Niouma Rene confirmed. In addition, two little children belong to the church group.
Conakry is the capital and the largest city of Guinea whose population was 1,660,973, as of the 2014 Guinea census. The city was essentially founded after Britain let the island for France in 1887. While in 1885 the two island villages of Conakry and Boubinet had fewer than 500 inhabitants, in 1904 Conakry became the capital of French Guinea and was developed as a prospering export port, especially when a railway (now closed) to Kankan, the largest city of Guinea in land area, opened up the interior of the country for the large-scale export of peanut.
In the decades after independence, the population of Conakry increased significantly, from 50,000 inhabitants in 1958 to 600,000 in 1980, to over two million today.
