Title: The violent attack on the central prison of Conakry: a merciless exchange of gunfire
Introduction :
A week after the tragic attack on the central prison of Conakry in Guinea, shocking new images have leaked on social networks. Filmed by a surveillance camera near Donka hospital, these images show an intense exchange of gunfire between the attacking commando and Guinean security forces. In this article, we will return to the details of this shooting, revealing mixed reactions to the behavior of the security forces in the face of the attack.
Development :
The images captured by the surveillance camera are devoid of sound, but show extreme violence. We can see a Guinean security force pickup truck turning around under a hail of bullets. An eyewitness present at the scene recounts the scene: “It was the meeting of two vehicles, and the shooting immediately started from both sides. For about one to two minutes, the shooting did not stop.” The incident took place at the corner of the Fidel-Castro highway and the Faisal Mosque, and the witness was able to capture an exclusive video of the shooting.
According to the witness, there were two distinct groups during the exchange of gunfire. The two pickup trucks faced each other, with security forces in regular military uniform on one side, and on the other side, individuals dressed in the same outfit but wearing balaclavas and camouflage. Some also wore gris-gris, traditional lucky amulets. The reactions of Guineans to this video were strong, with some denouncing the lack of resistance from the security forces, while others believe that they avoided a bloodbath by choosing to retire.
However, the witness sheds more nuanced light on the situation. He points out that at one point in the video you can see a man on the ground. According to him, in such circumstances, it is essential to take shelter and shelter rather than risking one’s life to recover a potentially injured or dead man. This observation challenges the simplistic interpretation of the security forces’ flight, suggesting that their response was perhaps more justified than it appears.
Conclusion :
The unrest generated by the attack on the central prison of Conakry continues to raise questions and debates. The images of the shooting leaked on the Internet reinforce the urgency of a thorough investigation to understand the exact circumstances of this attack. It is important to take into account the testimonies and nuances so as not to draw hasty conclusions. The truth about this shocking attack remains to be discovered, but the exchange of gunfire filmed by this surveillance camera raises awareness of the violence that took place at this sad moment in Guinean history.
