Sunday, 5 September 2021 (YJC)_ A Guinean army colonel has declared that the current government had been dissolved.
A Guinean army colonel has declared that President Alpha Conde's government had been dissolved and the West African nation's borders will be closed, an announcement that came after hours of heavy gunfire erupted near the presidential palace.
The dramatic developments Sunday bore all the hallmarks of a West African coup d’etat.
After seizing the airwaves, the mutinous soldiers vowed to restore democracy and gave themselves a name: The National Committee of Gathering and Development.
Conde's whereabouts were not immediately known. Col. Mamadi Doumbouya, who spoke to the nation, made no mention of the 83-year-old president, whose popularity has plummeted since he sought a third term last year.
