General Mamadi Doumbouya, president of the Guinean transition, in a decree read on March 27, 2024, to the RTG, dissolved all the communal councils in the country. They will be replaced by special delegations. This decision hardly surprises Oumar Camara, now former mayor of the urban commune of Faranah and president of the National Association of Municipalities of Guinea. In any case, this is what he made known in a few words, to our editorial staff, during a telephone interview on Friday, March 29, 2024. “I believe that it was predicted, because from the 1st December, in the speech of the President of the Republic, he made the case, he said that by the end of the first quarter of 2024, they will put special delegations throughout the national territory. I believe that this is what was done, it is without this logic. No, it’s not a surprise to us,” he said.
Speaking about this decision by the president who says that no member of a special delegation can apply for the next municipal elections, Mr. Camara clarified for those who did not understand. “No, it’s not us the former mayors, it’s those who will be on the list of special delegations who are not going to show up,” he said.
It should be noted that before the dissolution of Bernard Goumou’s government, the former Minister of Justice, Alphonse Charles Wright, had issued injunctions against certain municipal councils and even prohibited them from leaving the national territory.
