Marché Madina (Conakry)
Marché Medina is a market in Conakry, Guinea and one of the largest markets in West Africa.[1] The market was the scene of the Guinean Market Women's Revolt in 1977 that marketed a turning point in the country's economic history and was celebrated as a national holiday following the end of President Ahmed Sékou Touré's regime.
According to Lonely Planet it "sells anything from Chinese housewares to indigo cloth" and old magazines.[2] Like Marché du Niger, it also sells a wide range of fruit and vegetables.[3]
