Guinea’s Civil Society Insists on Dec Transition Timetable

The coalition of political parties and civil society say they will no longer recognize the military junta if it does not return the country to democratic rule by December 31, 2024. Prime Minister Mamadou Oury Bah, appointed last month, has asked members of the opposition to agree to extend the transition period until 2025. He cited the need for more time to hold a national census and preparation of an electoral list. But as Karim Kamara reports from Conakry, some in the opposition say extending the transition is not acceptable.
