President of Guinea arrested, borders closed, soldiers seize power

Guinean special forces have seized power in a coup, arresting the president, and promising to change the political makeup of the West African country.

The new military leaders announced a nationwide curfew “until further notice”, saying it would convene President Alpha Conde’s cabinet ministers and other senior politicians at 11am (11:00 GMT) on Monday.
Any refusal to attend will be considered a rebellion,” the commandos said in a statement. The country’s governors and other top administrators will be replaced by the military, it added.

“We have decided, after having taken the president, to dissolve the constitution,” said a uniformed officer flanked by soldiers toting assault rifles in a video sent to AFP news agency on Sunday. The unidentified officer also said Guinea’s land and air borders had been shut.
