Week-long consultation with political, religious and business leaders under way in Conakry.
The military heads behind last week’s coup that removed Guinea’s President Alpha Conde have begun a week-long consultation with political, religious and business leaders that they say will lead to the formation of a transitional government.
The dialogue on Tuesday is expected to lay out the framework of a promised government of national unity that would lead Guinea back to constitutional order. It is expected to define the duration of the transition, what political and institutional reforms are needed before elections, and who will lead the transition.
The meeting with the leaders of the main political parties will be followed by talks with representatives of regional governments, then religious organisations.
