Nightfall in the Medina, Conakry's most populous quarter, is barely dispelled by flickering candles and the dim yellow of underpowered bulbs. Hard pressed for power, the Chinese Communists who staff Peking's aid program recently put to use an American electric generator (provided to Guinea by U.S. aid) in their cigarette factory at Wassawassa-until U.S. officials demanded its removal.
