Guinea Agrees to Withdraw Troops from Yenga Following High Level Mano River Union Talks
Guinea has agreed to withdraw its military troops from the disputed border town of Yenga following a peace agreement reached at a recent Mano River Union summit in Conakry, according to Hon. Ing. Fallah Tengbeh, Member of Parliament for Kailahun District.
Hon. Tengbeh, whose constituency includes Yenga, disclosed the development during an interview on the Epic Morning Show on Epic Radio. He said the agreement was signed by Guinea’s leader Mamady Doumbouya, Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio, and Liberia’s President Joseph Nyuma Boakai as part of a tripartite effort to ease tensions in the Mano River region.
He described the outcome as a significant step toward resolving the long-standing border dispute between Sierra Leone and Guinea, which has persisted for decades and impacted residents in the area.
The withdrawal of Guinean troops is expected to restore full administrative control of Yenga to Sierra Leone and improve cross-border relations among the three neighbouring countries.
Hon. Tengbeh added that the agreement reflects a renewed commitment by regional leaders to promote peace, stability, and cooperation within the Mano River Union.
I am afraid as we continue to have news about new Guinean security deployment in the prescribed geographic location. I stand to be corrected my fellow patriots
