Guinea News | Guinea Junta Leader Mamadi Doumbouya Sworn In As President
Guinea's junta leader Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya was sworn in as president after winning last year's election held under a new constitution allowing military leaders to run for office. Doumbouya, who seized power in a 2021 coup, took the oath at a newly built stadium near Conakry amid criticism over his crackdown on opposition. Authorities say the Chinese-backed Simandou iron ore project will drive economic revival in the resource-rich but impoverished West African nation.
