Guinea agrees to withdraw troops near Liberia, Sierra Leone borders
Guinea begins gradual withdrawal of troops deployed along its borders with Liberia and Sierra Leone after regional summit agreements aimed at de‑escalating border disputes.
Guinea’s armed forces started a gradual pullback of troops stationed along its borders with Liberia and Sierra Leone following a Mano River Union summit in Conakry. The move implements decisions taken by Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Côte d’Ivoire to resolve ongoing border disputes through diplomacy and cooperation, easing prior military deployments that had raised regional stability concerns.
