Leader of army unit that overthrew President Alpha Conde tells government ministers there will be ‘no witch hunt’.
Guinean government officials are barred from leaving the country until further notice and a curfew imposed in mining areas has been lifted, the leader of an army unit that overthrew President Alpha Conde has said. On Monday Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya – a former French legionnaire officer – told a gathering of Conde’s ministers, including the prime minister and top government officials, that they should also hand back their official vehicles. “There will be no witch-hunt,” he said a day after the coup which drew international condemnation and threats of sanctions.More Related News
