Guinea’s military ruler Mamady Doumbouya has won a landslide election after once promising never to run. Swapping his uniform for a civilian suit, Doumbouya now faces global scrutiny over whether his rule will remain authoritarian or evolve into genuine democracy. Critics cite jailed opponents, banned protests, media restrictions, and election boycotts, while supporters credit him with resource nationalism and major mining projects like Simandou. As coups spread across West and Central Africa, is Guinea setting a new political blueprint, or entrenching military power? Dictator or democratic champion? Guinea’s next seven years may decide.
