Guinea's main opposition coalition exits transitional council, criticizes junta's delay on democracy.

The main opposition coalition in Guinea, Forces Vives de Guinée, has withdrawn from the National Transitional Council after the ruling junta failed to meet a December 2024 deadline for a return to democratic rule. Critics claim the junta's decree for a constitutional referendum is to extend military control. The junta, led by Col. Mamadi Doumbouya, has dissolved over 50 political parties and restricted media freedoms, sparking protests in the capital, Conakry.
