An eyewitness told the full story The violence started with a disputed decision by the match referee, an eyewitness said. After that the fans stormed the pitch. Local media said the match was part of a tournament organized in honor of Guinean junta leader Mamadi Doumbouya. Doumbuya seized power in a 2021 coup and declared himself president. This type of tournament has become common in the West African country. Doumbouya is eyeing to contest next year's presidential election and form a political alliance.
Doumbouya forcibly removed the President Doumbouya seized power by force in September 2021, ousting President Alfa Conde. Surprisingly, it was Alpha who hired Doumbouya as a colonel to protect the kingdom and its people from such rebellions. Doumbouya then promised to hand power back to a civilian government by the end of 2024 under international pressure, but has now made it clear he will not keep that promise.
Doumbouya seized power The military leader unusually promoted himself to the rank of lieutenant general in January and last month promoted himself to the rank of army general. Doumbouya has recently detained several opposition leaders, tried them in court, or forced them into exile. Despite this, Doumbouya's supporters have recently expressed their support for his candidacy in the upcoming presidential election. Despite their considerable natural resources, Guinea is a poor nation. It has been ruled by authoritarian governments for decades. Doumbouya is one of several officials to take power in West Africa from 2020, along with allied military leaders in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. Guinea's south-east, where the fighting took place, has a population of about 200,000.
