A first group of sixty arrived these days in Siguiri in Upper Guinea in g?n?ral.D'autres should follow in the coming days. All have benefited from the hospitality and good neighborhood of the authorities and people of Mali. It's from Malian territory, in fact that they managed to obtain travel documents in order to travel to Mecca.

Saudi Arabia having decided this year due to Ebola, not to grant visas to applicants pilgrimage from the three countries affected by the outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever, namely, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea so.

Thanks to Mali thus, a country that has shown unfailing solidarity toward Guinea, which at no time considered closing its borders to Guinea, unlike Senegal and Cote d 'Ivoire, thanks to Mali, a few candidates Guinean to the hajj this year were able to fulfill this religious duty.

President Alpha Conde in person misses no opportunity to thank the authorities and people of Mali for this constant show of solidarity towards his country.
