Guinea's Independence Day (October 2, 1958) is notable regionally: Guinea was the only French colony to vote against joining the new French Community that year, opting for immediate full independence instead, which came at the cost of an abrupt French withdrawal of support. Both Muslim and Christian holidays are recognized nationally.
