54 Sierra Leoneans Deported From Guinea
The Sierra Leone Police has confirmed the deportation of fifty-four Sierra Leoneans from neighboring Guinea following their arrest in the border town of Dubreka, Kindia region.
Inspector General of Police, William Fayia Sellu, disclosed that the individuals were detained by Guinean security personnel for loitering without lawful authority, while some were found residing in the country without valid identification documents.
The Police Chief assured that all deportees were thoroughly screened at the border before being returned to their respective communities in Sierra Leone. “We ensured proper verification and screening procedures were conducted to confirm their identities before they were released to their families,” IGP Sellu noted.
Reports indicate that Guinean authorities have stepped up security surveillance across border points with Sierra Leone and Liberia.
This comes amid recent arrests of Sierra Leoneans in Conakry linked to drug trafficking, particularly the smuggling of the harmful substance known locally as Kush.

On whose side are you?
Your compatriots have been rounded up and sent back to their country and you are here supporting the Guineans.
If Sierra Leone retaliates, do you know who would suffer?

This is not a question of hatred or jealousy.
Please let us try to understand few things.
1. Sierra Leone and Guinea are two different sovereign states.
2. Both countries have different laws and policies relating to immigration.
3. Sierra Leone has decided to relax her immigration laws. Guinea on the other hand is governed by the army and they have decided to fully apply their laws and policies. I do not see anything wrong with that.
4. Besides, Guinea has decided not to allow the lawlessness and other harmful practices that Sierra Leoneans are used to in their own country.
I therefore do not see anything wrong with the drastic line of action taken by the Guinean authorities. I fully sympathise with our deported brothers and sisters, but the law is the law.
Welcome back home our countrymen and take heart. Please find something to do.
