Xenophobia in Conakry, Guinea, is emerging from the shadows and demanding attention
Disturbing video footage on social media shows Guineans smashing rocks and huge boulders onto the bodies of people lying on the road. Worrisome footage shows several people looking demonstrably lifeless in the middle of the street in broad daylight. Despite coming into close contact with the gruesome scene, a young boy and several pedestrians are captured strolling past the violence on the street, which commenters believe may be located in Conakry. The bizarre footage mimics an incident in South Africa , where scores of migrant Africans were assaulted or killed, news wires reported at the time. There have been no public statements following the raid on migrant settlements, resulting in unknown Sierra Leonean fatalities.
