The Sierra Leone Embassy in Conakry has refuted claims made in a viral video that has sparked widespread speculation. According to senior journalist Stanley Bangura Jr., officials at the embassy have dismissed the video as false and unconnected to any recent developments involving Sierra Leonean nationals in Guinea.

Embassy sources revealed that over 700 undocumented Sierra Leoneans are currently residing in the slum areas of Conakry, many of whom are allegedly engaged in questionable activities. This situation has reportedly raised concerns about the well-being and safety of these individuals.

In response, the embassy has opened its compound to dozens of Sierra Leoneans who feel unsafe, offering them chancery services and support. The humanitarian gesture aims to provide temporary relief and protection for those in distress.

Meanwhile, there is growing speculation about the broader context of these events. Some observers, including journalist Stanley Bangura Jr., believe that Guinea’s transitional leader, General Mamadi Doumbouya, may be engaging in strategic maneuvers as the country approaches the much-anticipated December 31 deadline for a promised political transition.

The Sierra Leone Embassy in Conakry has assured the public that it remains committed to safeguarding the welfare of its citizens in Guinea, particularly those facing hardships. The Embassy also called on Sierra Leoneans in Guinea to remain calm and avoid actions that could jeopardize their safety.

As the December 31 deadline draws closer, all eyes remain on Guinea’s political landscape, with many watching to see if General Doumbouya will honor his commitment to hand over power.
