More than 500 Sierra Leonean nationals have been deported from Guinea and are currently stranded at the Pamlap border crossing awaiting clearance to re-enter Sierra Leone, according to sources.
The mass deportation comes just days after a high-level tripartite meeting involving Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia aimed at easing border tensions within the Mano River region. Authorities on both sides have yet to issue an official statement regarding the operation or its underlying causes.
Witnesses report that Guinean authorities rounded up hundreds of Sierra Leonean citizens residing in the country, with officials alleging that many were contributing to disorder in urban areas and labeling a significant number as idle or unemployed. The operation reportedly caused panic among families, with children and elderly individuals caught in the sweep.
“We were simply living our lives, working small jobs and trying to survive,” one deportee reportedly stated. “Now we’re being treated like criminals.”
Observers suggest the move reflects ongoing tensions over migration and economic pressures in Guinea’s cities, where swelling urban populations have strained public services. Critics, however, argue the deportations unfairly target hardworking, law-abiding immigrants.
Humanitarian groups have called on both governments to ensure due process is followed as stranded deportees await assistance at the border.
Where are those hypocrites Guineans claiming to be Sierra Leoneans ? When government take action then they threaten to protest.
Why Guinea government is still after sierra leoneans. And they are repeating same bad things to us. So as they have done such things, I really wish Sierra Leone government will do the same and deport all Guineans from our country. Because is too much tolerating them of all such of nonsense they have been doing to us,and let this be last by deporting there citizens from our country
And Sierra Leone government will still rely on diplomacy until Guinea takes over Sierra Leone, these people have hidden intentions, that is why they’re fastly becoming the most populated. The fula community,the Mandingo and other foreign language knows exactly what is going on.
But we have been too useless to allow them to assume the second highest position in Sierra Leone in the name of diplomacy and tolerance.
It’s really painful to be a Sierra leonean
They are really pushing us to sn extent for reaction
After border dispute and it is now deportation of our nationls
Trust me Brother it really painful 😒 I feel it so much for those people they deported.
Very disheartening to see that while elsewhere in Africa, countries are moving towards unification of the continent, we here in the Mano River Union community are encouraging a rebel going against the ambitions of the majority in the continent to embark on such disgraceful & backward acts of division & invasions for the purpose of stealing of their neighbors natural resources.
I’m tempted to believe that Mamady is possibly influenced by foreign powers whose main intensions are to decide and plundered Africa, while keeping the continent unprogressive.
I blame the government with all these nonsense from Guinea 🇬🇳 after unilating our officials and nothing comes out of it,now citizens,when their are reckless Guineans in the streets of Freetown
Well,if that be the case, let the deported (Guinea) government provide for them to reach their respective homes
Our Brothers and sisters are suffering from another country because the hardness of our country sierra Leone oh God save us from this calamity
