Guinea opposition leader urges junta to hold vote soon

Diallo stressed that the junta must prove that they do intend to give power back to the people as they promised

Guinea’s longtime opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo is urging the country's ruling military junta to set up a transitional government and establish a timeframe for holding elections as soon as possible following last week's coup. Mr. Diallo accused deposed President Alpha Conde of creating his own demise because he sought a third term in office by saying the constitutional term limits did not apply to him. “He betrayed his oath, by doing so, and he plunged the country into a deep crisis," Mr. Diallo told on Sunday, describing his longtime political foe as a dictator.
