The official is held responsible for a violent incident. President Alpha Conde sacked his Interior Minister and two other government officials on November 20th for “gross misconduct,” for their handling of deadly violence that broke out at a religious gathering the previous weekend. Interior Minister Mahmoud Cisse , Secretary of State for Religious Affairs El Hajd Abdoulaye Diassy and his deputy Aboubacar Fofana were dismissed, according to orders from Conakry, which gave no further explanation and did not name any replacements. A source in the presidency told AFP that “President Conde blames his now former colleagues for the catastrophic event management at Touba”, a popular Muslim pilgrimage site where violence broke out in mid‐November. Two people were killed, many wounded and vehicles and buildings torched when rival groups clashed over the construction of a large mosque in the city, which is around 250km north of Conakry in the Gaoual prefecture. The violence came after Conde was re‐elected for a second five‐year term in October. He was due to be sworn in on December 14th. (© AFP 20/11 2015) Condé wins p. 20735A
