notes: On 5 May 2021, hundreds of Muslims nightly demonstrated in Kankan town (Kankan-Centre, Kankan), after the authorities banned the Ramadan night Muslim prayers due to coronavirus contamination risks. They erected barricades and burnt tires on roads, and clashed with the police forces who fired tear gas to disperse them. The demonstrators also threw stones at the residence of the town's principal Imam who seemed to be favorable to that decision. [size=hundreds]
