Guinea is on edge as the National Transitional Council prepares to present the draft constitution to transitional president General Mamady Doumbouya on June 26. Touted as a milestone in the country’s return to civilian rule, the draft document has instead sparked deep political divisions.

Supporters of the ruling junta hail the proposed reforms as necessary to reset Guinea’s political and economic foundations. However, opposition groups accuse the transitional parliament of crafting a charter that entrenches military influence and weakens democratic safeguards.

As the country awaits Doumbouya’s response, tensions are mounting, with observers warning that the next steps will be crucial in determining Guinea’s democratic trajectory.
