Market vendor protests in Matoto, Guinea
Overview
In Matoto, Guinea, female traders initially staged protests at the local town hall to demand designated commercial spaces. This dispute arose from tensions with spare parts shop owners over the use of nearby areas, which had previously resulted in physical altercations. The Matoto Mayor, Moussa Diallo, attempted to mediate by proposing dialogue between the traders and shop owners.
By mid-October, the situation at the Kissosso market in Matoto escalated. Traders held further demonstrations protesting market management, specifically alleging that administrators were demanding 630,000 GNF from vendors for installation despite the hangars being provided for free. Protesters also reported that agents had destroyed stalls and seized goods, leading to demands for a change in market leadership.
