Guinea Army Claims Control Following Death of President

The Guinea army has claimed they now have control of the countries government following the death of President Lansana Conte on Monday.

While the army declares control several ministers in Conte’s government have stated otherwise, declaring things were operating as they should.

Conte, 74, passed away on Monday after a long illness and shortly after his death was announced the army declared they had taken control and they had set up a body called the National Council for Democracy and Development.

The army stated “As of today, the constitution is suspended as well as political and union activity. The government and the institutions of the republic have been dissolved.”

News of the dissolution of the government was condemned by the African Union as peace and security commissioner Ramtane Lamamra was quoted by the BBC as saying, “This is a blatant violation of the Guinean constitution and a violation of African legality."
