Guinea President, Alpha Conde, has been overthrown in a military coup on Sunday.
This happened after heavy gunfire was heard on Sunday morning at the Presidential Palace in Guinea’s capital, Conakry.
Reports claim that an elite national army unit led by a former French legionnaire, Mamady Doumbouya, was behind the unrest.
Conde has now been overthrown and has possibly been placed under house arrest.
The 83-year-old dictator was seen seated clad in a shirt and jeans with some buttons undone. He appeared visibly unhappy.
Conde won a controversial third-term in October after changing the constitution to allow him to stand again despite violent protests from the opposition.
