Demonstrations have erupted across Guinea due to opposition groups protesting the junta's failure to initiate a transition to democracy, resulting in one death and widespread arrests.
The US State Department expressed its concern that Guinea missed its 1 January 2025 target date for launching a democratic transition, urging a transparent process that involves all citizens.
Activists decried the junta's announcement of a constitutional referendum as merely a tactic to extend military rule rather than a genuine step towards democracy.
The military government has dissolved over 50 political parties, claiming the action was necessary to 'clean up the political chessboard,' further raising concerns about electoral credibility.
