Junta amnesty clause stirs debate in Guinea’s draft constitution

There is also a movement by some Guineans to petition junta leader Mamady Doumbouya to run for president. Faya Millimono, leader of the opposition Liberal Bloc Party, tells VOA’s James Butty, a general amnesty would be like a blank check to commit crimes without accountability.
