The citizen movement Tournons La Page has documented 35 cases of forced disappearance and 12 arbitrary abductions in Guinea (a West African nation governed since 2021 by a military junta) since General Mamadi Doumbouya seized power in a coup five years ago, according to a report published on 4 July. The organisation describes the pattern as an "epidemic" and a deliberate tool to silence critical voices, drawing comparisons to the repressive tactics of founding president Sékou Touré's First Republic. Tournons La Page plans to convene West African NGOs in Dakar this week to press an international community it accuses of remaining too silent on Guinea's deteriorating human rights situation; Guinean authorities did not respond to requests for comment.
