SUMMARY:Gabon Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:The Gabonese Republic celebrates its Independence Day on August 17. This national holiday commemorates the independence of Gabon from France in 1960. The festivities usually last for two days\, August 16 and 17.\nGabon is located on the West Coast of Central Africa. Its colonization began in the first half of the 19th century\, when France signed treaties with local tribal chiefs and established a protectorate over the coastal area. The French officially occupied the entire territory of Gabon in 1885. \nIn 1910\, Gabon became on of the four territories comprising French Equatorial Africa\, along with French Congo\, Chad and Ubangi-Shari (now the Central African Republic).

When French Equatorial Africa was dissolved in the late 1950s\, France agreed to give Gabon complete independence. Gabon became an independent country on August 17\, 1960. \nGabon Independence Day is a public holiday widely celebrated throughout the country. It is marked with official speeches\, parades\, drum shows\, traditional dance programs\, parties and other festive events and activities.

SUMMARY:Guinea Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Guinea was part of a series of West African Empires (Ghana\, Mali\, and Songhai) ruled by the Muslims. It was during the 15th century that the region came in contact with the European economy. Guinea was invaded by the French army in the mid 1800s and was declared a French protectorate in 1849. France negotiated boundaries with the British for Sierra Leone and with the Portuguese for their Guinea colony (now Guinea-Bissau) and Liberia. \nThe Franco-Portuguese agreement\, dating back to 1886\, created the division between the Guinea Republic and Guinea-Bissau. In 1895\, the French incorporated the Boke province\, the heart of today’s Guinea republic\, into French West Africa. The region became a unified entity\, which was governed from Dakar. \nBefore decolonizing\, French West Africa was dissolved in 1958. The founding of a Fifth Republic was supported by the French people. France’s colonies were given the option to choose between more autonomy in a new French community or immediate independence. All colonies except Guinea chose the former. Guinea\, under Ahmed Sékou Touré’s leadership\, won 56 of 60 seats in a 1957 territorial election\, voting its way overwhelmingly to independence. \nGuinea Independence Day – Traditions\, Customs and Activities \nGuinea’s Independence day is a national holiday to celebrate and honor the independence that it gained from France. The day is marked with public gatherings in the town halls where the elders and government officials gather and make speeches. This is followed by music and dance\, during which the men and women wear the Guinean traditional clothing.
