One ‘party state’: Guinea dissolves main opposition parties

Описание: Guinea's military-led government has dissolved 40 political parties, including the main opposition groups, through a late-night decree issued on Friday.
The move strips the parties of their legal status and control of their assets, with authorities claiming they failed to comply with legal requirements such as submitting mandatory financial statements.
Opposition leaders reject the accusations and warn that Guinea is now effectively a one-party state. President Mamady Doumbouya seized power in a 2021 coup and promised a transition to democracy, but critics say the decree deepens a crackdown on political freedoms ahead of legislative elections expected in May.
