Guinea Current Situation: One Month After the Coup - All Events

A young charismatic soldier, Col Mamady Doumbouya has become Guinea's interim president just under a month after leading a coup against President Alpha Condé.
Announcing the coup on 5 September, the 41-year-old former French legionnaire said the army had little choice but to seize power because of the rampant corruption, disregard for human rights and economic mismanagement.
Up to this moment no one really knows what went wrong between President Conde and his trusted army man. President Conde had put his faith in Col Doumbouya to help him keep his grip on power by going after opposition supporters.
Col Doumbouya's takeover means that he is currently the second-youngest leader of an African state. Only Mali's Col Assimi Goïta, who has been in power since staging a coup in May, is younger, having been born in 1983.

A week after being sworn in as President Col Doumbouya has appointed Mohamed Beavogui as the Prime Minsiter of the transition govt.
The junta has announced plans to move the country towards civilian rule but did not specify how long the transition would be.
Anyone taking part in the interim government, including Col Doumbouya, will be barred from standing in the following elections.

At the moment President Condé remains in detention while the UN, African Union and regional body Ecowas all condemned the military junta that replaced him.
