This came after reports of heavy gunfire near the presidential palace in Conakry, though it was unclear who was to blame. Soldiers who staged an uprising in Guinea’s capital have declared the constitution and government of the West African state dissolved in a short broadcast on state television.

Guinea’s defence ministry, on the other hand, said on Sunday that a mutinous special forces attack on the presidential palace had been repelled. It wasn’t immediately clear who was in charge.
Unverified videos circulated on social media earlier this week purportedly showed President Alpha Conde surrounded by soldiers. His whereabouts remained unknown.
The mutinous soldiers promised to restore democracy after seizing the airwaves. Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya, draped in a Guinean flag and flanked by a half-dozen other soldiers in uniform, read the statement, saying, “A soldier’s duty is to save the country.”

“Political life has become too personal. We will no longer entrust politics to one man, but to the people,” Doumbouya said, adding that the constitution would be dissolved and the country’s borders would be closed for a week.
Doumbouya, who previously led a military special forces unit, claimed he was acting in the best interests of the country’s 12.7 million people. There hasn’t been enough economic progress been made since independence from France in 1958, the colonel said.
“When you see the state of our roads and our hospitals, you realize that it’s time to wake up after 72 years,” he said. “It’s time for us to wake up.”
The attempted uprising, according to the defence ministry, was put down.
The presidential guard, with the help of loyalist and republican defence and security forces, contained the threat and repelled the assailants, according to a statement.

“Order and peace are being restored through security and combing operations.”
“Since the coup plotters’ statements on national television, thousands of youth have taken to the streets to welcome them,” he said from Conakry.
Doumbouya is a “popular military officer among the majority of the presidential guard,” according to Bah.
He went on to say, “The city is divided.” “One part backs the coup plotters, while the other sees clashes between different factions. As a result, it’s difficult to figure out exactly what’s going on.
