Six people were shot and wounded during a clash between the hamlets of Kignébakoura and Frenkamaya, in Guinea’s Siguiri prefecture, on 27 October 2026. The victims were treated at Siguiri district hospital, according to Lieutenant Abdoulaye Bassirou Condé, a doctor with the High Command of the National Gendarmerie.
The six injured people received emergency treatment and are no longer in life-threatening condition, the doctor said. They included Souleymane Traoré and Doubanin Keïta, from Frenkamaya, as well as Fodé Mamadi Bèrété, a passing motorcyclist who was hit by shotgun pellets and suffered, among other injuries, head trauma without loss of consciousness.
