Local Unit Commander, Philip Ernest Wellington said recently that the
controversy between Guinea and Sierra Leone over the ownership of Yenga still
remain unresolved.
Wellington says youths in the disputed boarder town of Yenga are still
complaining that Guinean troops have refused to leave Yenga despite calls by
residents of the township."The youths had wanted to create havoc in the area to
force Guinean troops out of the township but the Provincial Security Committee
warned them to desist from any action that would warrant violence in the area,"
he states, adding that the District Security Committee is working closely with
the police on matters relating to security in the district."We've decided to
convene conferences on fortnightly basis to discuss the general situation on
the ground," he said.
