Guinea‘s military junta dissolved the interim government and sealed all borders.
The presidency’s secretary general, Amara Camara, read the decree on national television on Monday.
Camara stated that directors of cabinet, secretary generals, and their deputies would be in charge until a new government is formed.
The officer did not specify when a new administration would be appointed or why the dissolution was ordered.
In a separate communiqué, Ibrahima Bangoura, chief of staff of the armed forces, stated that the dissolved government officials were required to return their vehicles and passports as soon as possible.
Bangoura also stated that their bodyguards had to end their service. The officials’ bank accounts were also frozen.
Following the deposition of Alpha Conde, the country’s first democratically elected president, the military seized power in a coup in September 2021.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) protested the military takeover and suspended Guinea from the bloc.
In response to international pressure, junta leader Mamady Doumbouya agreed to a 24-month transition period established by the military and ECOWAS.
The transition period is expected to end in December.
