Guinea’s military leaders have dissolved the government, offering no explanation but promising to appoint a new one. Gen. Amara Camara announced that operations would continue under deputy secretaries until the formation of a new government. This move comes as the country, under military rule since the ousting of President Alpha Conde in 2021, faces pressure from ECOWAS to transition back to civilian rule, with elections planned for 2025. Members of the dissolved government have been ordered to return their vehicles and passports, and their bank accounts have been frozen. Col. Mamadi Doumbouya, the country’s leader, justified the coup as a means to prevent chaos and criticized the previous government for failing to fulfill promises. However, his tenure has faced criticism for not improving living conditions, prompting calls for him to take responsibility.
