Guinea reinstated to Francophonie amid human rights concerns --[Reported by Umva mag]

The decision, announced by the OIF on Wednesday, September 25, allows Guinea to participate in the upcoming Francophonie Summit in France.

While welcoming Guinea’s return, the OIF has urged the country to continue its efforts in the area of human rights. The organization emphasized the need for ongoing progress in restoring constitutional order and respecting fundamental rights and freedoms.

Since the military junta took power, Guinea has faced increasing repression against dissident voices and the media. The National Front for the Defense of the Constitution (FNDC) has been particularly targeted, with several of its activists arrested and missing.

The OIF has provided support to Guinea’s transition process through various initiatives, including the development of a new Constitution, electoral reforms, and media regulation. However, concerns remain about the ongoing human rights situation in the country.

As Guinea prepares for upcoming elections, the international community will be watching closely to assess the country’s progress in upholding democratic principles and respecting human rights.
