Rio Nuñez incident
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rio Nuñez incident or Rio Nuñez affair (French: Affaire du Rio Nuñez, prise de Debokké) was an international incident in 1849 on the Nunez River (Rio Nuñez) near Boké, in modern-day Guinea. The incident occurred as a result of a local power struggle in which vessels of a joint Belgian and French naval force fired on an enemy village, which resulted in inventory losses incurred by two British traders.[1]
