Peace Corps Evacuation of Guinea Underway

According to an article from the Associated Press, Peace Corps has begun to evacuate volunteers from Guinea. We spoke briefly with Lisa and she confirmed that she would be evacuated sometime this weekend. The primary reason is because with the market closed, there is no way to get food.
Amy, a friend of Lisa's who is living in Siguiri, is already evacuated and relays an emotional account of the last few days in her blog.
