Conakry, the capital of Guinea is awash in waste and this annoys the country’s new authorities. Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya, the Head of State, has decided to take the bull by the horns to rid the Guinean capital of the rubbish that litters the streets and other corners of distraction.

It is a punch operation against the garbage that Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya launched this Thursday instead of the ordinary Council of Ministers. He himself fulfilled his civic duty on the island of Kassa off the coast of Conakry to the applause of the islanders.
“ The first magistrate of the country moved to kick off the sanitation. Frankly, we have no words to magnify this joy “, enthuses the mayor of the locality Abou Samake.
In his quest for Conakry to be the “own capital city”, the country’s strongman has ordered all his ministers and other senior state officials to roll up their sleeves to clean up the garbage-strewn arteries.
” This decision was taken by the President of the Transition who was tired of seeing the garbage. He ordered to go and clean the city to return to the normal situation “said Prime Minister Mohamed Béavogui.
But is this specific operation the solution to rid Conakry of these mountains of garbage? ” This is a question that must be asked. The government knows that there are companies in charge of waste collection issues. If today on the ground, we see this, he will ask himself questions to really identify where the problems are in order to find the appropriate solutions. “Slips the Minister of Justice, Charles Wright.
Once the pearl of Africa, Conakry now polluted by waste intends to regain its letters of nobility.
