The authorities of Guinea announced on Tuesday October 29 the dissolution of 53 political groups. The country’s three major parties were placed under observation and suspended. Arguments put forward: lack of validity of approval, or even lack of transparency in accounting. The timing of this decision raises questions in the ranks of the UFR and the RPG.

At the UFR, the Union of Republican Forces, of former Prime Minister Sidya Touré, a question is nagging people’s minds: the timetable for publication of this report, two months before the official end of the military transition.

Fodé Baldé, is the spokesperson for the UFR: “ What seems to be very ridiculous is the fact that we are putting under observation the political parties which since the beginning of this transition have demanded the return of constitutional order for three months, that is to say beyond of the date dedicated with the ECOWAS December 31, 2024 “.
For Fodé Baldé, the military authorities want to get them to endorse a shift that he considers “ unacceptable » of the transition timetable. “ We want to get the political parties who have called for a return to constitutional order to contribute to a shift in the transition timetable. We will oppose by all legal means “.
A diversion?
For the RPG, the party of the former president Alpha Condeit is a diversion. Instead, we should evaluate the 10 points of the transition timeline. Marc Yombouno is a former minister and spokesperson for RPG: “ The ministry is the main actor for the implementation of this ten-point timeline. Today, a few months before the end of this timeline, we should be there evaluating what has been done. But, if we leave that and start to take the focus out of sight of activities that go in the direction of getting these parties to perform, we don’t see the importance of it. “.
After the political parties, other structures will be subject to this same exercise, according to the Ministry of Territorial Administration.
