Guinea's president dismisses 173 soldiers, including coup ally, for desertion

By GhanaSummary NewsroomPan-Africa

No details were given about the circumstances of the alleged desertions of the 173 military personnel when Gen Amara Camara, the president's spokesman, read out the decree on Monday.

The dismissals, announced in a decree on state television, are thought to be part of ongoing efforts by the president to consolidate his control and prevent potential challenges to his leadership.

When he overthrew President Alpha Condé, Doumbouya said he would not seek election and would hand over to civilian rule.
