The September 2021 ousting of President Alpha Cond茅 in Guinea came after he tried to change the rules to extend his ten years in power, from the agreed two terms. Military forces, led by a former French legionnaire, Lt Col Mamady Doumbouya, said they had taken over because of corruption, mismanagement and poverty. Doumbouya is now the interim president.

Issaka Souare, an associate senior researcher at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, describes the protests that followed Cond茅's controversial third election victory, and how instability in Guinea could spread to its neighbours, that include Sierra Leone, Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire.
