Wahlen in #Guinea - Présidentielle 2025: zivile Transformation oder Festigung der Macht des Militärs?

Im Jahr 2021 putschte das Militär gegen Langzeitpräsidenten* Alpha Condé und übernahm die Herrschaft in Guinea. Anfangs für viele ein Hoffnungsschimmer, regierte die Junta bald brutal und unterdrückte die Opposition. Proteste wurden verboten, Meinungs-, Presse und Informationsfreiheit eingeschränkt, Armut und Hunger nicht wirkungsvoll bekämpft. Nach einem umstrittenen Referendum im September, das eine neue Verfassung brachte, könnte Übergangspräsident* General Mamadi Doumbouya am 28. (...)

Dear #EU, dear #Germany, look at #Venezuela and see our future. This is what the #USA #junta has in mind, and they have been writing it down many times. This is war in the 21st century, and it's coming to Europe, soon. We are the number one enemy of the US now.

Trump Isn’t Planning to Invade Venezuela. He’s Planning Something Worse | Common Dreams

Rather than launching a military invasion that would provoke public backlash and congressional scrutiny, Trump is doubling down on something more insidious.

#Guinea: Kritik an neuer Verfassung:

Amtszeit Präsident*in auf 7 Jahre verlängert (2 Perioden); Senat geschaffen (1/3 der Mitglieder von Präsident*in ernannt); #Junta-Mitglieder dürfen kandidieren.

Offizielles Ergebnis: ca 90% für neue Verfassung, Beteiligung >86%.
Opposition spricht von Betrug, manipulierte Stimmzettel, Druck auf Wähler*innen, Ergebnis vorbereitet... Doumbouya könne Putsch legitimieren und so lange wie möglich an Macht bleiben.

To anyone who's been following human rights issues in #Tibet or the #Uyghur regions, or Chinese links to illegal #rareearth mining in #Laos & #Myanmar (including de-facto support for the ruthless #junta), the fact that #China derailed the inclusion of mining and critical minerals in the #COP30 #JustTransition Work Program is no surprise.

In the latest issue of @codastory newsletter, I explore this, and more.

Apparently everyone is a little worried about what the #Trump #Junta is planning regarding its force buildup in the #carribbean. Will they invade #Venezuela or not?

And while I can't answer this, I know at least what the #US #military, especially the #navy, is worried about:

Having to EVER AGAIN endure a defeat to #Huthi type forces, who are supported by regional illicit trade networks.

So they want to show the world, they can solve this type of problem. Somewhere.

China, Iran, and Russia will Intervene in Venezuela to Threaten U.S. Regional Hegemony - Center for Maritime Strategy

China, Iran, and Russia sent aid, capital, and arms through illicit trade networks to enable the Houthis’ attacks on western merchants and warships transiting the Bab al-Mandeb strait. They will do the same to aid Venezuela in a bid to challenge U.S. regional hegemony. The United States must counter this strategy by countering its means
