G uinea
A group of Christian lawyers have come together to start meetings and fellowship in this relatively small French-speaking West African country. Frédéric Loua Foromo, one of our main contacts in the country attended the 2008 AI Global convocation, the first time Guinea was represented in any AI sponsored gathering.
The fellowship, Advocates Guinea (Association of Guinean Christian Lawyers) [“Advocates Guinée (Association des Juristes Chrétiens de Guinée”)] was formed in May 2008.
The fellowship meets together to promote friendship between its different members. It aims to promote human rights in Guinea; to contribute towards training citizens in their rights and duties on every level; to consolidate peace and stability in Guinea; to bring aid to those in prison in Guinea; and to promote the Scriptures as a code of conduct.
