Guinee: Avaria market vendors displaced by road building At the Madina Market, Avaria sector, in Conakry, which groups together a large number of women market and street vendors, vendors have been evacuated by the local authority which is constructing a secondary road linking the highway to Niger. StreetNet affiliate in Guinee, CNTG, reports that on March 10th, the CNTG StreetNet National Committee embarked on a struggle with the Avaria market women against administrative and police harassment As a result of the intervention, fruitful negotiations are underway with the office of the Conakry Governor in order to find a lasting solution so that the vendors can continue to earn a living.
