		I agree with Richard-Molard's conclusion that the percentage of serfs grew with the density of population and that the highest percentages of serfs were to be found in proximity to political and military centers such as Labe where the leaders took the lion's share of the booty of war (1951: 104).

		Inland, the foothills of the Fouta Djallon mountains, which form the north-western end of the Guinean Dorsale, rise abruptly from the coastal plain.
		The coastal plain is covered by broad-leaved lowland forest, both primary and secondary, while the Fouta Djallon and Nimba mountains, both important centres of endemism, are covered by upland evergreen forests and Afromontane elements.
		Much of this was lost long ago, particularly on the Fouta Djallon, although considerable areas of semi-deciduous forest may still have been present at the turn of the century (République de Guinée, 1987).

		The nyenyeru is a Fulani instrument, and even though there are many Fulas in Conakry, and the best players are there, it didn’t seem right for me to play the instrument without visiting its home.
		Anyway, El Hassan was born and raised in Conakry, so it is decided that I head with El Hadj, who is from a small town near Dalaba, a mid-sized town in Fouta Djallon.

		By the 1980s, the poor state of Guinea's roads had become one of the major constraints to the country's economic development.
		For example, in Fouta Djallon, a region providing much of the country's agricultural production and livestock, the national road connecting the prefectures of Dalaba and Tougue had become impassible due to the bad conditions of the causeway and other edifices.
		The immediate objective in the first phase of this two-phase project was to rehabilitate and maintain 167 kilometers of rural roads in the southeastern region of Fouta Djallon: 142 kms between Dalaba and Tougue; and 25 kms in the area of Soumbalako.

		With independence in 1958, Guinea’s new president, Sekou Touré, outlawed remaining justifications for serfdom in Fouta Djallon, but his efforts were focused on dismantling the power of chiefs relative to the central government and did little to counterbalance a century of social stigma.
