Guinea Military Coup Aftermath

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 12:22:24 -0500

Leaders of a military coup in Guinea have announced the formation of a 32-member government, one day after the death of the country's dictator. - The interim government consists of 26 military members and six civilians, said Capt. Moussa Camara, spokesman for the National Council for Democracy and Development, which led the coup. - Presidential elections will be held within two years, the council announced on Wednesday. The group had previously stated that it would hold elections within 60 days. - The group said an interim president and prime minister will be appointed. - Camara said when the elections are held they will be "credible and transparent". - The National Council for Democracy and Development announced its takeover on Tuesday, hours after the death of Guinea's longtime dictator Lansana Conte. - Local media report that the group appears to be run by junior officers headquartered at the Alpha Yaya Diallo barracks. Earlier this year, the barracks were the epicentre of a mutiny by renegade soldiers against Conte's rule. - Richard Moncrieff, West Africa project director for International Crisis Group, said no successor to Conte was groomed and no one can legitimately step up without elections. "If a constitutional transition of power is not effected, then it will be bad news for Guinea," he said. - Camara said the group has no ambition to stay in power. - "We are here to promote the organization of credible and transparent presidential elections by the end of December 2010," he said. - Conte had seized power in a military coup in 1984 following the death of President Ahmed Sekou Toure. - The African Union was meeting on Wednesday to discuss the situation in Guinea. In a statement, the organization said "this seizure of power constitutes a flagrant violation of the Guinean constitution." - In a statement read on state television and radio on Tuesday, C...

MUGABE RETAINS POWER IN ZIMBABWE ELECTIONS CONDEMNED AS UNFAIR BY THE WEST Zimbabweans kept President Robert Mugabe in power after March 31 elections gave him an overall majority in the 150-seat parliamentary assembly. Despite turnout of less than 50 percent and accusations that the polls were flawed, Mugabe's Zanu-PF (Zimbabwe African National Unity-Patriotic Front) party took 78 seats, leaving the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change led by Morgan Tsvangirai with 41 seats and one independent. 30 other seats are directly appointed by Mugabe. 81-year-old Mugabe has held power for 25 years since independence from Britain and has been isolated and criticised by the international community for misrule and wrecking the economy. POPE JOHN PAUL II DIES, CARDINAL RATZINGER ELECTED SUCCESSOR An estimated 300,000 people crammed into the Vatican city on April 8 to watch one of the most momentous funerals in recent history. Polish Pope John Paul II died on April 2nd after a 26-year papacy, after long bouts of illness and increasing frailty. He was buried a week later in a simple wooden coffin, after a huge outpouring of grief, during which millions files past his body as it lay in state. The conservative German 78-year-old Ratzinger was elected Pope Benedict XVI surprisingly quickly on April 19 and faced with the daunting task of leading 1.1 billion Roman Catholics through what some predict will be a difficult papacy.
