“Conde [Alpha Conde] was very unpopular, even though people still voted for him. With the third mandate, Conde went too far. Right now, people are just happy to see Conde gone. But pretty soon, they will need to see some actions from the junta; signs things are about to change, including a timetable for a transition.”

“[Doumbouya] is clearly saying all the rights thing now about a transition, about an inclusive political approach, reminding people of the need for the reforms, all the governance failures of the past. But the real test is going to lie really in a couple of phases over the next few weeks. First of all, in his internal discussions, he has got to secure the acquiescence if you like of a broad … political class and civil society in this transition. And although a lot of people are expressing relief … that's not quiet the same thing as signing up for all the details of the new transition. And the next stage will be a difficult negotiation with ECOWAS [Economic Community of West African States], the West African bloc of which Guinea is a member and which really has a pretty firm constitutional law that soldiers cannot take long term power by force.”

“China is fully aware of the wavering political situation in the region and has experience in handling this kind of surprise change. It's hard to predict how much China will be impacted, because China's activities in the country have not been involved with local politics. If the military leaders want no damage to their country's economy, there is no reason for them to make trouble with China.”

“Alpha Conde is one of the politicians who worked over 40 years for democracy in Guinea. Once in power, he totally destroyed it. He put people in prison. He killed and he completely refused any political dialogue with the opposition.”

“Don't forget that Doumbouya [Mamadi Doumbouya] is a Conde [Alpha Conde] man, he was placed in charge of the Special Forces and specially trained to protect Conde. This is important to understand perhaps why the country seems to stand behind him. All sources say that in spite of the AU [African Union], ECOWAS' [Economic Community of West African States] requests of them [the military] to go back to the barracks, it's not working … is not being heard in Guinea. There is no question that Doumbouya is in charge and he is the de facto head. So sanctions or not sanctions they will have to talk to him and more importantly they will have to take the measures of the country and it is clear that it is a popular uprising, at least as of the moment.”

“This comes a week after the national parliament voted an increase in budget for the presidency and parliamentarians, but a substantial decrease for those working in the security services like the police and the military. It's interesting to see officers go to the national television on social media calling for unity and the reason being is because the military remains divided. There are still members that support Alpha Conde and will go out of their way to defend the president.”

“Since the coup plotters' statements on the national television, the opposition supporters have taken to the streets and thousands of youth are dancing, welcoming them. The city [Conakry] is divided. One part is supporting the coup plotters, and the other part has clashes between different groups. So it's very difficult to understand exactly what is happening.”

“The duty of a soldier is to save the country. The personalisation of political life is over. We will no longer entrust politics to one man, we will entrust it to the people. If you see the state of our roads, if you see the state of our hospitals, you realize that after 72 years, it's time to wake up. We have to wake up.”
