Move comes as draft constitution is being put to a vote next month, raising fears for democratic transition.
Guinea’s military government has suspended the main opposition parties, including former President Alpha Conde’s Rally of the Guinean People, ahead of a constitutional referendum on September 21, citing unmet obligations. This crackdown, occurring alongside a delayed election campaign start, intensifies fears for democracy and could incite protests against military leader General Mamady Doumbouya, who previously promised to support democratic processes.
