GUINEAN STUDENTS HOLD A BANNER, 1999-08-07 (photo)

Guinean students hold a banner reading "Yaguine and Fode, the Guinean students' Association supports your message", during a remembrance ceremony at Brussels National Airport August 7 for Yaguine Koita, 14, and Fode Tounkara, 15, two young Guinean stowaways found dead in the landing gear of a Sabena Airbus August 2 in Brussels. The two teenagers, whose bodies were repatriated to Guinea at the end of the ceremony, left a handwritten letter asking "for the attention of European excellencies and officials", not just due to their situation, but also for all the young Africans affected by war. The letter cited the lack of education, food, leisure activities, sports, and opportunities for young Africans. NK/
