Monument du 22 Novembre 1970, Memorial monument in Conakry, Guinea.

The Monument du 22 Novembre 1970 is a memorial in Conakry whose construction began before 22 November 1971. President Sékou Touré laid its foundation stone, and Guinean and Chinese workers took part in the works. Its legend reads: "LA REVOLUTION EST EXIGENTE! L'IMPERIALISME TROUVERA SON TOMBEAU EN GUINEE!"

On 21 November 1970, Portuguese troops backed by Guinean fighters landed at Conakry in Operation Green Sea, seized Camp Boiro and freed its prisoners; General Lansana Diané was captured before escaping to the Algerian ambassador. The coup failed and opponents of Sékou Touré's regime were imprisoned in the camp. Construction of the memorial began before 22 November 1971, when the president laid the foundation stone.

The monument's legend, "LA REVOLUTION EST EXIGENTE! L'IMPERIALISME TROUVERA SON TOMBEAU EN GUINEE!", is carved on the structure and recalls the political language of Sékou Touré's era. Its construction was attended by Guinean and Chinese workers, and the Chinese chargé d'affaires Tsao Kouan-lin gave a speech there praising the militant friendship between the peoples of Guinea and China.

The monument stands in central Conakry at coordinates 9.52150, -13.69052, reachable by local transport or on foot from nearby districts. The site is outdoors and open to view at any hour, with no ticket office or guided service. Visitors should plan for heat and rain, since shade and shelter are limited around the memorial.

The monument's inscription carries a powerful message reflecting Guinea's ideological stance during the Cold War era. These words reveal how the nation expressed its position toward global power structures of that time.
