The opening as it read in 2015
The Conakry Grand Mosque in Guinea, one of the largest mosques in West Africa 2005 official statistics for Islam in Guinea estimate that 85% of Guinea 's 7.8 million people are Muslim .1 Most are Sunnis who follow the Maliki legal tradition and Qadiri and Tijani Sufi orders. There are also many Ahmadi Muslims in the country. Although the French established a colony in 1891, their control of the region was weak. After independence in 1958, the nominally Muslim Marxist president Sékou Touré discouraged Islamization; only after his popularity waned in the 1970s did Touré seek to co-opt Muslim institutions to legitimize his rule. Since Touré's death in 1984, cooperation between the Muslim community and the government has continued.2
