• with Mr. Sanna CAMARA, Journalist and former media officer to the Presidency of the Republic;

These exchanges allowed for a better understanding of the security, political and social situation in the country. In addition, many projects emerged from the discussions. They will be implemented in the coming months with the aim of contributing to the strengthening of peace and security in this beautiful West African country, particularly in this presidential election year.
