notes: On 5 May 2021, several Muslims nightly demonstrated in Kerouane town, Kereouane Centre subdivision (Kerouane, Kankan), after the authorities banned the Ramadan night Muslim prayers due to coronavirus contamination risks. They erected barricades and burnt tires on roads, and attacked the building of the prefecture as well as the residence of the prefect, and the residence of the town's principal Imam. The police and the gendarmerie forces fired tear gas and live ammunition to disperse them, resulting in one person getting shot and killed, and 4 others injured including one gendarme and one police officer.
