State coup in Guinea, President Alpha Condé captured by putschists

Guinean special forces officers claimed to have captured President Alpha Condé, taken control of Conakry and "dissolved" the institutions, in a coup that could sound the retirement of a veteran of African politics, but condemned by the international community. No deaths have been reported, despite the intense crackling of automatic weapons heard in the morning in the capital of this country accustomed to brutal political confrontations. The apparent epilogue of more than ten years of the Condé regime has given rise to scenes of jubilation in different districts of the capital. A curfew has been imposed throughout the country and the country's borders have been closed. The coup was condemned by the UN, the African Union and the France who called for the "immediate" release of President Conde.
