The 2021 Guinean coup d'état attempt is the ongoing military coup attempt in Guinea on 5 September 2021. It has resulted in the capture of President Alpha Condé, after gunfire in the capital Conakry.[1] Intensive fire was reported to start at around 8:00 local time around the Presidential Palace.[2] While a statement released earlier in the day said an attack on the palace had been repelled,[3] photos were released purporting to show the President being taken away.[2] A video was released shortly thereafter by the coup plotters, who showed Condé in captivity.[4] Lieutenant colonel Mamady Doumbouya, commander of the country's special forces, was reported to be behind the coup.[2] The military have announced they suspended the constitution, disbanded the government and its institutions, and closed all borders.[3][5][6]

Background

Alpha Condé was first elected as the president of Guinea in 2010.[7][8] He was re-elected in 2015. The country has a two-term presidential limit, but the 2020 constitutional referendum included a provision extending the length of terms and allowed Condé to "reset" his term limit and seek two more terms.[9] Both the constitutional referendum and the 2020 presidential election were followed by protests against Condé.[10]

Coup attempt

Videos were posted of Condé being held by members of the Guinean military on the morning of 5 September 2021 following gunfire in the area around the Presidential Palace.[11][12][13]

A Western diplomat told The Daily Telegraph that the attack was provoked by the government trying to dismiss a senior member of the country's special forces.[12]

The lieutenant colonel Mamady Doumbouya issued a broadcast on state television in which he said the government had been dissolved and Guinea's borders had been closed.[13] Doumbouya has been reported to be the instigator of the coup attempt.[14] Doumbouya is a former French legionnaire who returned to Guinea in 2018 to take command of the Groupement des forces spéciales (Special Forces Group), an elite unit of the Guinean armed forces.[15] The soldiers called themselves the National Committee of Gathering and Development.[16]

The ministry of defence said that the attack had been contained.[16] Soldiers released a video showing Condé in captivity.[17][18]
