Guinea detained Sierra Leone security personnel at a disputed border site on Feb. 24, 2026, sparking diplomatic tensions.
Sierra Leone reported that security personnel, including an officer, were detained by Guinea’s military on February 24, 2026, during construction of a border post in Kalieyereh, a disputed area in the Falaba district.
Guinea’s forces seized their weapons and ammunition, and Sierra Leone stated the site is its sovereign territory, where its flag remains raised.
The incident stems from a long-standing border dispute dating to the Sierra Leone civil war, when Guinean troops were invited to assist but did not fully withdraw.
Sierra Leone is pursuing diplomatic and security channels to secure the detainees’ release, though Guinea has not commented.
