-By Victoria Opeyemi
Colonel Mamady Doumbouya was born in Kouroussa Republic of Guinea and was trained by the French military in France. He was called in 2018 by Alpha Condé to head a new unit he created and called them Special Force to the president.
He was the one who led the coup in Guinea on September 5, 2021 and overthrew erstwhile President of the country, Alpha Conde.
During the coup, he arrested and detained the 83-year-old President who won a Controversial third-term presidential election in Guinea.
Mamady said economic hardship in the country among other things pushed him and his team to come to the aid of the people of Guinea.
He has announced a dissolution of the constitution and the Condé government.
However, Conakry, the capital of Guinea was in jubilant mood as the people took to the streets to celebrate the fall of Alpha Conde after he was overthrown.
