Guinean authorities have reportedly directed the Commissioner of Ahmed Sékou Touré International Airport in Conakry to prevent Sierra Leonean nationals described as migrants from travelling through the facility, as part of measures to combat irregular migration and human trafficking.
The directive reportedly forms part of Guinea’s broader efforts to tighten controls at its international entry and exit points and curb the movement of people suspected of being involved in irregular migration networks.
Under the reported measures, Sierra Leoneans seeking to travel through Ahmed Sékou Touré International Airport may face restrictions or additional scrutiny before being permitted to proceed with their journeys.
The development is expected to affect Sierra Leonean travellers using Conakry as a transit or departure point, particularly those whose travel status or documentation may raise concerns among Guinean authorities.
The authorities’ decision comes amid growing regional efforts to address irregular migration and human trafficking, which continue to pose challenges for countries across West Africa.
However, further details on the scope of the directive, including the specific categories of Sierra Leonean travellers affected and the duration of the restriction, were not immediately available.
