What next for Guinea? Uncertainty looms despite junta's transition pledge

THE DEBATE © FRANCE 24

Last week's military coup in Guinea saw President Alpha Condé arrested and detained. Colonel Mamady Doumbouya emerged as the face of the new military leaders. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres slammed the taking of power at gunpoint. Neighbouring states followed his lead, adding their condemnation. Then followed the West African economic group ECOWAS and the African Union.

Colonel Doumbouya announced there would be a government of national unity and a swift transition to democratic governance. More than a week later, the military junta has begun holding talks with political stakeholders. We discuss what's next for Guinea.

Produced by Yann Pusztai, Juliette Laurain and Imen Mellaz.
