Mamady Doumbouya (N'Ko: ߡߊ߬ߡߊߘߌ߫ ߘߎ߲ߓߎߦߊ߫, born 5 December 1980) is a Guinean military officer serving as the current president of Guinea since 5 September 2021. Doumbouya led a coup d'état on 5 September 2021 that overthrew the previous president, Alpha Condé.
He is a member of the Special Forces Group of the Guinean military and a former French legionnaire. On the day of the coup, Doumbouya issued a broadcast on state television declaring that his faction had dissolved the government and constitution. On 1 October 2021, Doumbouya was sworn in as interim president.[1]
At the head of the military junta that seized power following the coup d'état, he is responsible for the disappearances of human rights activists, such as Foniké Menguè,[2] and journalists, such as Habib Marouane Camara.[3][4]
