The UNI Europa Finance Conference and the UNI Finance World Steering Group adopted a resolution in solidarity with the people in Guinea during its Conference on 10-11 December 2009 in Dublin, Ireland.



On September 28, 2009, security forces from the military government led by Captain Moussa Dadis Camara attacked tens of thousands of peaceful pro-democracy supporters who had assembled at the main sports stadium in Conakry to protest the military regime and Camara’s presumed candidacy in the upcoming presidential elections.
