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.











Then the sierra Leone government should lower the tax they put on the airlines
No sierra Leonens wanted to pass Guinea by their wish
But they used the port as an optional ,
We have the most expensive tickets in the whole of Africa
If they difference is 20 dollar it May seems understandable but 300 USD to 400 usd difference it’s too much.
So we don’t have to put blame on the citizens travelling through Conakry airport .
What has gone wrong with the Freetown International Airport at Lungi ? Is it shut down or what is it ?
