Africa-Press<\/a> – Namibia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>THE Government of Namibia has condemned the coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in Guinea and is following with great concern the continued detention of President Alpha Cond\u00e9 by special forces units of the West African country\u2019s army.<\/p>\n

Guinean special forces on Monday seized power, arrested Professor Cond\u00e9, and promised to change the political makeup of Guinea. The new military leaders announced a nationwide curfew and closed all borders, confining the movement of people and goods.<\/p>\n

Lieutenant-Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya, the head of Guinea\u2019s military special forces, appeared on national television draped in the national flag on Monday evening and stated that the government\u2019s continued mismanagement of the country and its resources prompted the coup d\u2019\u00e9tat.<\/p>\n

The Namibian Government in a statement issued by the Executive Director of the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation, Ambassador Penda Naanda, expressed its strong disapproval of the lack of respect for the legitimate and democratically elected President of Guinea and called upon the military to respect the rule of law and the return to civilian rule.<\/p>\n

\u201cNamibia also calls upon the citizens of Guinea not to resort to violence in addressing their concerns,\u201d Ambassador Naanda said.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Naanda assured the people of Guinea of Namibia\u2019s unwavering support for the principle enshrined in the AU Constitutive Act, of condemning and rejecting unconstitutional changes of government.<\/p>\n

President Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo in his capacity as the Chairman of the African Union, and the head of the AU\u2019s executive body, former Chadian Prime Minister Moussa Faki Mahamat, also decried the seizure of power in Guinea and called for President Cond\u00e9\u2019s unconditional release.<\/p>\n

\u201cNamibia aligns herself with the statements issued by President Tshisekedi, and that of the Chairperson of former Prime Minister Mahamat, and also repeats their call for the Peace and Security Council to address the coup d\u2019\u00e9tat as a matter of urgency,\u201d Ambassador Naande said.<\/p>\n

President Cond\u00e9, a former opposition leader himself who was at one point imprisoned and sentenced to death, became Guinea\u2019s first democratically elected leader in 2010.<\/p>\n

He was re-elected in 2015. He survived an assassination attempt in 2011. In recent years, however, he has been accused of drifting into authoritarianism.<\/p>\n

The revolt follows a long period of political tension in Guinea that was set off by President Cond\u00e9\u2019s decision to change the country\u2019s Constitution that allowed him to stand and be elected for a third presidential term in 2020.<\/p>\n

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), through its acting President, Ghana\u2019s head of state, Nana Akufo-Addo, threatened sanctions if Guinea\u2019s constitutional order was not restored.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Naande said Namibia joins the international community in calling for the immediate and unconditional release of President Cond\u00e9, and the return to constitutional order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
