Labé transport services resume following temporary strike suspension

Transport activities in Labé, Guinea, have begun to resume following a period of paralysis. On Friday, September 11, 2026, union leaders instructed drivers to temporarily suspend their strike to allow for ongoing negotiations with regional authorities.

Traffic has restarted on several strategic routes, including lines connecting Labé to Bamako, Conakry, and Nzérékoré. However, drivers have indicated that the resumption of work does not mean their demands have been met. The suspension is considered a gesture to facilitate dialogue between union representatives and regional officials.

While national lines and the connection to Mali have reopened, cross-border services to Senegal and Gambia remain subject to further consultations. The long-term resolution of the strike depends on the outcomes of upcoming discussions with authorities.
