The Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization, Mory Condé, detailed Friday ten "key steps" to lead to the return of power to elected civilians, without giving a timetable or setting a deadline.
He made these remarks at the opening of the Inclusive Consultation Framework, a new forum supposed to facilitate the political transition after the military coup of September 2021.

According to the timetable set out by the Minister of Territorial Administration, Mory Condé, the return of power to civilians must go through several stages.
“
The population census, the administrative census of a civil status nature and the drafting of a new Constitution, its adoption by referendum, the organization of local elections, the organization of regional elections, the organization of legislative elections, the organization of the presidential election – the first and second rounds – and then the installation of the elected president to put an end to the transition.

For Anad, a platform of more than 60 political parties which has already distanced itself from the inclusive consultation framework launched last Friday by the government, the CNRD is playing for time.
“
We recall that we had, in the case of the consultations which had been made at the People's Palace, all the actors,
says Cellou Baldé, member of the national political office of the UFDG
.
Members of civil society had submitted memos in which detailed timetables were planned, were suggested and therefore if we find ourselves in a framework of dialogue, we can set up a technical commission which will deal with the question of the timetable. .
But today, for us, the CNRD is only rushing forward to waste more time and to make eyes at ECOWAS
”.
Make eyes at ECOWAS, which
threatens Guinea with sanctions
, in particular economic and financial, after April 25 if the junta does not respect its ultimatum on the timetable for restoring power to civilians.
