Guinean government dissolved and borders shut, army colonel says
A Guinean army colonel seized control of state television airwaves on Sunday and announced that President Alpha Conde’s government had been dissolved, hours after heavy gunfire erupted near the presidential palace.
Mr Conde’s whereabouts were not immediately known, and colonel Mamadi Doumbouya made no mention of the 83-year-old president, whose popularity has plummeted since he sought a third term last year.
