Guinea’s coup chief-turned-president Doumbouya stays in the headlines after dissolving parties and securing a landslide victory, 2026. Born 1984.
Guinea's government has dissolved 40 political parties, including the three main opposition groups, citing failure to meet legal obligations. The move, part of a broader crackdown under President Doumbouya, aims to establish a one-party state amid ongoing suppression of dissent since the 2021 coup.
Zimbabwe’s draft constitutional bill would extend the presidency and other public offices to seven-year terms and defer 2028 elections. Parliament is set to debate it next week, with critics warning of legal challenges and protests.
