Guinea coup attempt: Soldiers claim to seize power from Alpha Condé
BBC ^ | 9-5-21 | BBC

An apparent coup is underway in Guinea, with heavy military presence and gunfire reported in the country’s capital of Conakry. Guinean President Alpha Conde has seemingly been detained by the military.The fate of Guinea's President Alpha Condé is unclear after an unverified video showed him surrounded by soldiers, who said they had seized power.

They appeared on national TV claiming to have dissolved the government.

However, the defence ministry said the attempted takeover had been thwarted by the presidential guard.

This follows hours of heavy gunfire near the presidential palace in the capital, Conakry.

UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres and the African Union have condemned the apparent coup and demanded the immediate release of President Condé.

The West African country of Guinea is rich in natural resources but years of unrest and mismanagement mean it is one of the world's poorest countries.

Well, timing IS everything.

It’s not like America’s _Resident is going to do anything about it! Heck, he just GAVE AWAY Afghanistan to the Tolly-Bahn, including all the weaponry they can use and/or sell, as well as a bunch of hostages to further extort ‘We The People.’

All the Cool Kids are doing it.

*SPIT*

Very rich in minerals and poorest country and the UN supports this. This is what’s wrong with the world.

I was feeling a little guilty for not giving a damn until I read your post. I wouldn’t even know who to root for.

I suspect the existing government was not enthusiastic enough about their Chinese masters “Belt and Road” initiative and had to be replaces

For all its many sins, Western Imperialisms was at least constrained by domestic popular opinion and the West’s Juedao-Christian moral code.

Chinese imperialism has neither constraint.
