Coup d’etat Di Asem beba: Hearts Tie With CI Kamsar In Limbo As Military Stage Coup In Guinea

Hearts of Oak’s CAF Champions League preliminary round first leg tie with Guinean side Cl Kamsar is in danger.

The Phobians are billed to play Kamsar at the General Lansana Conté Stadium on Sunday, September 12, 2021 in Conakry with the return leg scheduled for September 19 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

There are reports that different military factions are fighting each other in Guinea now with CAF considering the safety of players and officials due to unrest.

Some gunshots were heard early Sunday near the presidential palace in Guinea’s capital, Conakry witnesses said.

This has raised security concerns in a country with a long history of military power grabs and coup attempts.

A military source told Reuters news agency the bridge connecting the rest of the city to the Kaloum neighbourhood, which houses most ministries and the presidential palace, had been sealed off and many soldiers were posted around the palace.

There are unconfirmed reports that three soldiers have been killed.
