Siaka Touré was the commandant of Camp Boiro in Conakry, Guinea during the regime of Guinean President Ahmed Sékou Touré. During this period, many of the president's political opponents died in the camp. Siaka Touré was born in 1935 in Kankan, studied in Paris and Moscow, he was a nephew of the President, Sékou Touré. As such, he was a descendant of Samori Ture, he became an army officer, served as Minister of Transport. After the Labé plot was announced by the government in February 1969, Captain Siaka Touré became a member of the three-person Revolutionary Committee along with the President and General Lansana Diané, the Minister of Defense. Siaka had a collection of cars which he confiscated at will, imprisoning those who had the arrogance to protest. During the coup attempt of November 1970, when Portuguese troops and Guinean fighters invaded Conakry and seized Camp Boiro among other locations, Siaka managed to hide in the Camayenne hotel and avoid capture. After the coup attempt failed, many opponents of the regime were rounded up and imprisoned in Camp Boiro.

Siaka Touré presented a mild-mannered facade during interrogations proposing to act as an intermediary between the prisoner and his family. He was the sole master of the camp, allowing nobody to leave without his permission. During his long tenure, many political prisoners died, some executed, some as a result of torture, some from the "diète noire", or "black diet", meaning that they received no food and no water. In 1977, there was a demonstration in Conakry, called the Guinean Market Women's Revolt, staged by women complaining of regulations against private traders. Siaka Touré met the demonstrators with a detachment of troops, when they failed to stop ordered the troops to open fire. One woman was killed and many others were arrested. After the death of Sékou Touré in March 1984, Siaka Touré was imprisoned by the military regime that took power. Following an attempted coup by Diarra Traoré in July 1985, he was executed along with other members of the former regime such as Ismaël Touré, Mamadi Keïta and Moussa Diakité.

A percolation trench called an infiltration trench, is a type of best management practice, used to manage stormwater runoff, prevent flooding and downstream erosion, improve water quality in an adjacent river, lake or bay. It is a shallow excavated trench filled with gravel or crushed stone, designed to infiltrate stormwater though permeable soils into the groundwater aquifer. A percolation trench is similar to a dry well, an excavated hole filled with gravel. Another similar drainage structure is a French drain, which directs water away from a building foundation, but is not designed to protect water quality. Percolation trenches are used to treat runoff from impervious surfaces, such as sidewalks and parking lots, on sites where there is limited space available for managing stormwater, they are effective at treating stormwater. To function properly, a trench must be designed with a pretreatment structure such as a grass channel or swale, in order to capture sediment and avoid clogging the trench.

It may not be appropriate for sites where there is a possibility of groundwater contamination, or where there is soil with a high clay content that could clog the trench.
