notes: On 6 August 2020, supporters and critics of the head of the district clashed in Bakary Sackola District, near Siguiri town (Siguiri-Centre, Siguiri), resulting in one person shot and killed, and another injured. The clashes escalated after the critics of the head of district captured a suspected thief and decided to take him to the traditional chief instead of the head of district for judgement. The supporters of the head of district saw it as an act of defiance. [size=no report]
