The head of the junta in Guinea said he was inspired by the “model” of Rwanda. This he said during the visit of President Paul Kagame, who is one of the first foreign heads of state since the military took power in 2021.
From the 1994 genocide to the reunification of the country, Rwanda has been able to recover, assume and rebuild itself before asserting itself as an African reference. This is why the Rwandan model fascinates Colonel President Mamadi Doumbouya”, the Guinean presidency said in a statement.
Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya, who was sworn in as president following the military coup in September 2021, pledged under international pressure to make way for elected civilians by the end of 2024, the time to carry out far-reaching reforms, he said. The two leaders said they wanted to strengthen bilateral relations and “create a bridge” between Conakry and Kigali. Paul Kagame arrived Monday evening in Conakry for the third leg of his West African tour, after Benin and Guinea Bissau.

He expressed his willingness to work with Guinea in the framework of open cooperation, according to the statement from the Guinean presidency. He also said he wished to welcome Mamadi Doumbouya to Rwanda. For the opposition, President Kagame’s visit should not be used to legitimize the military in power. The opposition is calling for a rapid return of civilians to power, the opening of a “credible” dialogue, and the release of all prisoners it considers political.
