Guinea’s military junta, which seized power in a coup in September 2021, has dissolved the government.
The announcement was made through a presidential decree read on state TV on Monday by the presidency’s Secretary General, Brig Gen Amara Camara.
Mr Camara did not disclose the reason for the dissolution or say when a new government will be put in place as Ministers in the dissolved government were ordered to surrender their passports and official vehicles with bank accounts additionally frozen.
The junta also instructed security agencies to “seal” all the country’s borders until government ministries have been fully handed over to the junta.
Mr Camara further said Lower-level officials will temporarily manage state ministries until a new government is appointed.
Recall that in September 2021, Col Doumbouya led Guinea’s armed forces to overthrow elected President Alpha Condé, after a series of protests over Mr Conde’s controversial bid for a third term.
