Guinea

Guinea, a West African nation, is currently newsworthy due to the recent presidential election and its aftermath. Mamady Doumbouya, the military leader who seized power in a 2021 coup, has been declared the winner of the election, which has been described as the country's first since the takeover. However, the election's legitimacy is being questioned, as leading opposition challengers were barred from running. Doumbouya secured a significant majority of the vote, according to a government-controlled agency. He has since been sworn in as president. The election and Doumbouya's transition from military leader to civilian president mark a significant, albeit controversial, turning point for Guinea. In other news, US film stars Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors are set to become Guinea citizens after tracing their ancestry to the country.
