The Gouverneur du Soudan is about to send troops (the Troupe Gendarmerie Mobile) to Sikasso to round up the population. Konaté requested the minsiter's intervention to prevent this, and accused French colonial officials of being "plupart pecheurs eau trouble" (mostly fishmen in troubled waters; i.e. looking for trouble)
