Doumbouya vows strict enforcement of laws in Guinea

Guinean President Mamadi Doumbouya announced strict enforcement of the laws, without distinction between friends and relatives, at the Simandou Summit. The shift came in a speech reaffirming Guinea’s Pan-Africanist outlook, according to Alwihda Info.

General Mamadi Doumbouya, President of Guinea, said his country had been too lenient in enforcing its rules because of its commitment to Pan-Africanism. He announced that the authorities would henceforth ensure respect for the rules and the country at the Simandou Summit held on 11 November on Kassa Island, according to Alwihda Info.

Mamadi Doumbouya said the law would be applied “without distinction”, adding that the authorities would have “neither friends nor relatives” in its application. The head of state also said that respect for the country and established rules should take precedence, acknowledging that this position could “shock some people”, according to Alwihda Info.
