“We categorically reject any attempt to impose a so-called ‘transition government’ that does not emanate from the popular will and is enforced through arms and brute force,” Dias National Campaign Directorate said in a statement at the weekend. Any reforms in Guinea can only be undertaken within the constitutional framework, by legitimate and democratically elected institutions,” it added. The Dias Campaign Directorate said, “The self-proclaimed Military High Command, despite repeated attempts to fabricate a legal justification, has failed to present any legal proceedings or criminal charges against Domingos Simões Pereira. The Campaign Directorate said the Mission should remain and provide security to Dias and his principal officers. The junta has already altered the national Constitution, paving the way for expanded presidential powers and Embalo’s possible return through the transition election.
