he Forces Vives platform of Guinea, comprising opposition groups and civil society organizations, has declared it will no longer recognize the authority of the military junta after December 31, 2024. This date marks the end of the transition period initially promised by the junta following its 2021 coup.
However, the military authorities have since announced a delay, citing the need for a “refoundation of the state.”
Abdoul Sacko, coordinator of the Forum des Forces Sociales de Guinée, criticized the extension and the junta’s governance, stating: “There is no relevant, visible, or perfectible approach to a return to constitutional order.” He described the current situation as one of widespread frustration and called for a civil-led transition as the only viable solution.
The Forces Vives accuse the junta of failing to uphold its commitments, pointing to the lack of progress in the technical, administrative, and socio-political processes necessary for a return to constitutional order. Sacko emphasized the need to inform and mobilize the populace to support a civilian-led transition, signaling a new phase in Guinea’s political crisis.
The Forces Vives’ rejection of the junta’s authority is expected to intensify demands for adherence to the original timeline and a swift restoration of constitutional governance. This stance highlights the deepening divide between the military rulers and opposition groups.
The international community is closely monitoring developments in Guinea. The junta’s inability to meet its self-imposed mandate raises questions about the future stability of the country. The push for a civilian transition underscores the urgency of resolving the crisis and restoring democratic governance.
As the December 31 deadline approaches, Guinea faces a critical juncture, with both domestic and international pressure mounting on the junta to deliver on its promises.
