The National Assizes start this Tuesday, March 22 in Guinea.
These meetings initiated by the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralization aim to build a “new institutional framework” in the country.
The president of the transition, Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya, is to deliver a speech to inaugurate these vast consultations which should last several weeks.

Last December 31, Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya announced
the holding of National Assizes
, which he sees as days
of “forgiveness and truth
”.
Clearly, meetings to talk about “
reconciliation
”.
No information was given on how this component will be addressed.
Experts and civil society agree on one point: this work should take up the recommendations of the report published in 2016 and supplement it by directly setting up a Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission.
This approach would be "
more productive
", underlines the National Front for the Defense of the Constitution, which is concerned to see new resources mobilized for work already done.
Moreover, a few hours before the start of the Assises, political actors and technical partners are overwhelmed by many questions: all are unaware of the precise content of the Assises and the purpose of these exchanges.
“Why dwell on these meetings when we are still waiting for a timetable on the transition
”, wonders an observer, who doubts the follow-up to be given to these meetings.
