Guinea’s military junta chief, Captain Moussa Dadis Camara speaks in Conakry on September 30, 2009. Former Guinean dictator Moussa Dadis Camara was on Saturday taken from prison by a heavily armed commando during an operation that sparked heavy gunfire in the capital Conakry, a minister and lawyers say.At least two other former officials currently on trial alongside Dadis Camara over a 2009 massacre during his presidency were also taken from the central prison, they said.

Inside, the group headed towards the former leader’s cell, appearing to already know its location, the source said. The army’s chief of the general staff, General Ibrahima Sory Bangoura, described the operation as an attempt to “sabotage” reforms carried out under the leadership of Colonel Mamady Doumbouya, who took power by force in September 2021.Several Guinean news sites quickly reported that Saturday’s events were not another coup, but that a heavily armed commando had attacked the central prison.

“The city centre has been sealed since dawn, we can neither enter, nor leave,” a shopkeeper added, also speaking on condition of anonymity. Guinea, a West African country of about 14 million people, underwent a coup in September 2021, when Colonel Doumbouya stormed the presidential palace with soldiers and overthrew civilian president Alpha Conde by force.He and about 10 other former military and government officials are accused over a 2009 massacre carried out by security forces loyal to the then-junta leader.
