Note on the situation of French nationals in Guinea (23 December 1958)

Text
On 23 December 1958, the Political Affairs Directorate of the Ministry for Overseas France expresses concern at the future of the approximately 3 000 French nationals living in Guinea. In the referendum held on 28 September 1958, Guinea was the only overseas territory to reject the French Community. This resulted in the proclamation of independence on 2 October and the breakdown of relations with France.
