Photo by @petekmuller. Two women stop to readjust the charcoal that they carry toward the town of Gueckedou, in southeastern #Guinea. Gueckedou is a transit and commerce hub for communities in Guinea's forest region. Most rural communities in this part of the country rely on agriculture for survival; farming rice, bananas, coffee, Palm oil and other crops for consumption and sale. On any given morning, one sees large numbers of people hauling their goods to market in Gueckedou. The #Ebola epidemic, which originated in southern Guinea in late 2013, caused lengthy border closures with nearby #SierraLeone and #Liberia, a development that put serious strain on local economies. Check out our story on Ebola virus in the forthcoming issue of National Geographic Magazine. #Africa, #western, #west, #commerce, #economy, #instadaily, #photooftheday, #photojournalism
