Dissolution of the interim government in Guinea by the National Council of the Rally for Development (CRND) led by the military junta
In Guinea, the National Council of Rally for Development (CRND) announced the dissolution of the interim government in the West African country. This decision was announced in a decree read on state television by the secretary general of the presidency, surrounded by other military officers and several armed and masked soldiers.
The decree indicates that cabinet directors, general secretaries and their deputies will be responsible until the formation of a new government. Amara Camara did not specify the date on which a new government would be appointed.
In a statement dated Monday, Ibrahima Sory Bangoura, chief of staff of the armed forces, said members of the dissolved government must return their vehicles and passports as soon as possible. Their bodyguards were also ordered to terminate their service and ministers’ bank accounts were frozen.
The government had been in office since July 2022. The military junta led by General Mamadi Doumbouya took power by force in September 2021.
Under pressure, the former colonel agreed with ECOWAS to end a transition by the end of 2024.
This political development in Guinea raises questions and uncertainties about the future of the country and its governance. The people of Guinea and the international community are closely monitoring future developments and hope for a peaceful transition to a democratic and stable government.
