 | | In December 2004, the UN launched the Consolidated Appeal for Guinea 2005, pointing to the prevalence of a variety of vulnerable groups in Forest Guinea and the urgent need for strategies to stabilize the region, given its geographic location close to the three neighboring countries which have recently experienced armed conflicts. |
 | | Guinea had to deal with destruction of infrastructure, loss of property, the emergence of internally displaced persons (IDPs), as well as rising grievances of citizens who attribute their plight to insecurity related to the presence of the refugees and IDPs. |
 | | The prefectures mostly affected by refugee and returnee influx are NâZérékoré, Lola, Yomou, Macenta, Guéckédou, Kissidougou in Forest Guinea, and - to a lesser extent - Forécariah prefectures. |
