A 25%
increase in petrol prices (from GF 8,000 or US$ 0.89 per litre to GF 10,000 or
US$ 1.11 per litre) resulted in barricades going up in the streets of Conakry
on Friday, 6 July 2018.

Disturbances
are expected to intensify today as the main unions have called for a general
strike.

The port
remains a well-protected area.  Our local
office would recommend that seafarers stay within its vicinity.
