On September 6, news broke online about the removal of Guinea's President, Alpha Conde, after he had amended the constitution to allow him to run for a third term. Consequently, there has been an atmosphere of tension and calmness in the West African nation. As the Guinean people navigate what the future holds for them, we bring you all the major talking points.\n

What Caused the Guinea Coup?<\/h2>\nThe most recent presidential poll in Guinea in October 2020, saw widespread violence and accusations of electoral fraud. Conde won a controversial third term. However, it was possible through a new constitution in March 2020 that allowed him to sidestep the country\u2019s two-term limit. Troops loyal to the government killed dozens of people during demonstrations against a third term for Conde<\/a>. During demonstrations, security and paramilitary forces arrested hundreds more.\n

The government cracked down, arresting several\u00a0prominent opposition members for their alleged role in abetting electoral violence in the country. Conde, a former opposition leader himself who was at one point imprisoned and sentenced to death, became Guinea\u2019s first democratically elected leader in 2010, winning re-election in 2015.\n

Events Leading to the Guinea Coup<\/h2>\nGuinea is a country on the West African coast with a population of 13 million people. Despite boasting a wide variety of mineral resources, Guinea remains one of the poorest countries on the planet and one of the most politically unstable too. Since the '80s, these problems have made the Guinean people scurry from one politician to another in the search for solutions.\n\n\n\nIn this search, the people fell in love with the 2010 anti-corruption agenda of Alpha Conde. Being a key opposition leader for decades, voters felt they had entrusted their votes to their messiah. Alas, that was not meant to be, as Conde's government was said to have grossly mismanaged the country's resources, making him grow unpopular.\n\nThe final straw for the mutinous soldiers was the dismissal of a senior commander in the special forces. It provoked some of the country's highly trained officers to rebel. Here is a timeline of events surrounding the Guinea Coup:\n
