Guinean authorities have dismantled a suspected terrorist network linked to the Group for the Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), arresting multiple foreign and Guinean nationals as part of a nationwide anti-terror operation.<\/p>\n

The Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office in Conakry announced the arrest and indictment of eleven individuals in April 2025, including seven Malians, two Nigeriens, one Burkinabe, and one Guinean.<\/p>\n

Another Malian, Fotigui Daou, was arrested for alleged membership in a dormant JNIM cell and admitted involvement in a hostage-for-ransom operation, contributing to terrorist financing.<\/p>\n

Two Guineans, Ibrahima Sow and Cheick Ibrahima Savane, were also detained for active roles in online radicalization networks.<\/p>\n

All suspects face charges of complicity in terrorism, criminal association, and financing terrorism.<\/p>\n

Online networks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Investigations uncovered several JNIM-affiliated WhatsApp groups with over 500 members, including 38 Guineans, used to radicalize individuals and coordinate operations.<\/p>\n

Regional context<\/strong><\/p>\n

The arrests come amid rising jihadist activity in the Sahel, particularly in southern Mali near Guinea\u2019s border.<\/p>\n

Authorities urged citizens to remain vigilant, collaborate with security forces, and report suspicious behavior.<\/p>\n

Government statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Prosecutor\u2019s Office emphasized the government\u2019s full mobilization to protect citizens and reaffirmed that combating terrorism remains an \u201cabsolute national priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
