Military leaders dissolve government in Guinea

The military says it will appoint a new government, but has not indicated when that would be.
The military in Guinea, which seized power more than two years ago, has dissolved the government in the West African nation and said it will appoint a new administration.
Military leaders released a video statement late on Monday to say that directors of cabinet, secretary generals and their deputies would be in charge until a new government was formed. The government has been in office since July 2022.
The presidency’s secretary general, Amara Camara, was flanked by other military officials and several armed and masked soldiers in the pre-recorded video when he delivered the unexpected news.
It is still unclear how the dissolution, which Camara did not provide a reason for, would immediately affect the country or who the senior members of a new government would be.
The military took power in a coup in September 2021 after the country’s first democratically elected president, Alpha Conde, was deposed.
