The leader of mutinous soldiers who deposed Guinean President Alpha Condé last month, Mamady Doumbouya, was on Friday inaugurated as the country’s interim president.
The junta leader, a 41-year-old colonel and former ally of the deposed Mr Condé, was sworn in at a ceremony held at the Mohamed V Palace in the capital, Conakry, an event boycotted by most West African heads of state., last month, imposed sanctions on the junta members and their relatives, froze their assets and imposed travel bans on them.
But this has not deterred the putschists’ resolve to take their pound of flesh by ousting Mr Condé – whom they accused of corruption, disregarding human rights and economic mismanagement – barely a year into his controversial third term reelection. Regional powers would now hope that the new interim government propped by the country’s military will be for a short while and transition to civilian rule will return quickly.
