In Guinea, families are organising to find their children who have disappeared during migration and are fighting for justice. The Guinean Organisation for the Fight against Irregular Migration (OGLMI), founded by Elhadj Mohamed Diallo, is helping around 75 Guinean families who have one or more relatives who have disappeared or died while migrating to North Africa or Europe. In Conakry, the family of Elhadj Boubacar Diallo, who disappeared in April 2021 while trying to reach Europe, are still waiting for his return. The young man gave his sister Salamatou a last word before embarking for Italy, and since then there has been silence. In the same modest neighbourhood of Bantounka, Adama Diallo lost his little sister Aïcha in Italy in February 2023. Of the 46 people who boarded the boat for Lampedusa, the 19-year-old was the only one to lose her life. In the Matoto district, near the international airport, Mariama Sylla, the older sister of Ousmane Sylla who died by hanging in February 2024 at the Ponte Galeria repatriation centre (CPR) in Italy, is one of the leading figures in the struggle. Further on, Amadou Djoulde Diallo collapsed as he did every day in his shop in the Matoto market. In September 2024, he learned that his son Boubacar Diallo, aged 19, had committed suicide in the Mont-de-Marsan prison in France. There are also those who return, traumatised and ashamed, like 26-year-old Mamadou Hatikou Diallo. When he returned from France, his relatives refused to welcome him. ‘I came back but I gained nothing. I didn't build anything, I didn't get married, I didn't bring the car back, I didn't help my mother.’
