Touré was among the primary Guinean nationalists involved in gaining independence of the country from France. A devout Muslim from the Mandinka ethnic group, Sekou Toure was the great grandson of the powerful Muslim cleric Samori Toure who established an independent Islamic rule in part of West Africa. In 1960, he declared his Parti démocratique de Guinée (PDG) the only legal party in the state, and ruled from then on as a virtual dictator. He was nominally re-elected to numerous seven year terms in the absence of any legal opposition. He imprisoned or exiled his strongest opposition leaders. It is estimated that 50, 000 people were killed under his regime. ” (wikipedia 2018) SUBJECT(S) : Politics and government. Parti démocratique de Guinée. 1958-1984. Guinea -- Politics and government.
