INTERPRETATION OF GUINEA

A nation of western Africa it borders the Atlantic Ocean and got its name from the Gulf of Guinea. Guinea is a traditional name for west Africans and comes from the Portuguese word Guine, a generic term for “men that are black” , that is why so many nations have that as part of their name.

It is the world second largest producer of bauxite, an aluminum ore and has rich deposits of diamonds and gold. Yet most of this wealth is for the wealthy and most of the population lives in dire poverty & lack.

The country was at the core of the Ebola outbreak of 2014 in which over 2500 died out of 3800 cases. It is thought that the traditional beliefs of burial is to blame for much of the spread. The practice is to collect the water from washing the deceased and family bathes in it to inherit the power/gifts of the deceased. Also, because of poverty, many eat “bush meat”- bats & monkeys who are carriers of the disease. Once people were educated on these two avenues of transmission, the epidemic came under control but there are still new cases showing up.

Human Rights in Guinea are bad. The US claims that torture by security forces is rampant, abuse of women (female genital mutilation on 96% of women- the second highest in the world) and other ongoing abuses. They have high HIV/Aids brought about through heterosexual activity-- homosexual is illegal. Polygamy is legal and over 50% of wives are in polygamous marriages . Malnutrition is high. Malaria.

Isa 1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
