Opposition parties in Guinea rejected the 39-month democratic transition timetable proposed by the ruling military junta, they said in a statement on Wednesday.
Guinean military leader, Colonel Mamady Doumbouya told state television that after political consultations he was considering a 39-month transition.
Three main opposition parties and over 60 of their smaller allies rejected the proposal in a joint statement and urged interim leaders to “defend democratic institutions”.
They said a body known as the National Transitional Council (NTC) – set up by the junta to act as parliament until elections – had not validated the timeline and called for “real” dialogue with all concerned parties, including civil society.
