Lots of the celebration of the 3rd anniversary of the CNRD’s arrival in power, demonstrations broke out in several places on the Le Prince axis, following the call launched by the Forces Vives de Guinée (FVG).
In Wanindara, a district on the outskirts of Conakry, clashes between young demonstrators and security services caused the death of Mamadou Lamarana Cissé, a 17-year-old apprentice mechanic.
Testimonies collected from his family reveal that young Cissé was shot in the head by a security guard. In tears, the victim’s father returned to the circumstances of his child’s death.
“I was not there, but according to his friends, he had gone for a walk (one hundred paces) with them. In the meantime, the officers moved to go. They shot him twice and he fell. The police came to trample him again. That’s how they called me from the city. I found the Red Cross and the imams here. We talked with them, and they returned the body to us. My 17-year-old son is in a very bad way. The morning before I went down to the city, he cleaned the terrace, washed clothes, drew water for the evening and prepared everything before going to kick a ball. When he returned at 2 p.m., he was asked to eat but he said he would eat after his hundred paces. My son who was an apprentice mechanic was killed by a policeman according to the information. We ask the authorities to shed light on the matter. Otherwise, the solution, instead of savagely killing children, is to take them and put them in prison. “It is up to these authorities and the young people of this neighborhood to change the system. We are all Guineans,” recalled the victim’s father, Mohamed Cissé, specifying that his child has already been buried with the help of the Red Cross.
It should be recalled that on the eve of this third anniversary of the junta in power, a young lady was also hit by a stray bullet in T8, another district of the axis, while she was sitting quietly in a taxi.
