"Pas un centimètre de notre terre ! " : Mamadi Doumbouya déploie l'armée face au Libéria et à la Sierra Leone
Guinea is demonstrating its resolve in the face of border disputes with some of its neighbors. Army contingents have been officially deployed to border areas to guarantee the defense of the national territory's integrity.
On the occasion of the departure of the last group of soldiers, the President of the Republic and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, General Mamadi Doumbouya, personally went to the site to solemnly present them with the national flag.
A message of firmness and sovereignty
According to the Army's Directorate of Information and Public Relations (DIRPA), the Head of State took advantage of this ceremony to send a strong message to the soldiers leaving for the front.
“You, soldiers of Guinea, are the symbol of our unity, our strength and our resilience. At this time when our homeland faces challenges, your commitment and dedication are more precious than ever. I entrust you with this flag, a symbol of the responsibility to defend our territory, our values and our future,” declared the Head of State.
The Guinean president also sought to reassure the population about the armed forces' determination to protect national sovereignty against external threats: "I, Mamadi Doumbouya, assure the people of Guinea that no portion of the land left by our ancestors will be conquered," he insisted.
This massive troop deployment comes amid heightened tensions on Guinea's borders, particularly with Liberia and Sierra Leone. Paradoxically, Guinea had supported these two neighboring countries during their devastating civil conflicts in the past. Today, territorial disputes appear to be straining these historical relations, prompting Conakry to bolster its military presence.
