Guinea junta dissolves government, seals borders, orders ministers to hand over passports and cars

Guinea's military junta led by President Doumbouya has dissolved the government and sealed the country's borders.

The junta seized power in a September 2021 coup, ousting elected President Alpha Condé.

Ministers were ordered to surrender passports and vehicles, with bank accounts frozen.

Lower-level officials will temporarily manage ministries until a new government is appointed.

Elections are expected in 10 months when a 24-month transition period set by the junta and regional body ECOWAS expires.
