Alpha Condé: « The Republic is Greater Than This Narcotrafficking Junta »

Alpha Condé, former president of Guinea, defended his 2011-2021 record, highlighting economic reforms, a debt relief of $2.1 billion, the construction of the Kaléta and Souapiti dams, and a 7.1% growth in 2020. He described the September 5, 2021, coup d'état as « bloody » and accused the junta of narcotrafficking, restricting civic space, arrests, suspended media, and forced disappearances. Condé called for restoring constitutional order and paid tribute to victims of dark episodes during his presidency.
