Bah Oury Becomes Guinean Prime Minister Amidst Rising Tensions

648

Former Guinean opposition leader Mamadou Oury Bah, known as Bah Oury, assumes the role of prime minister following his appointment by the country’s military junta, replacing the dissolved government. Amid mounting discontent with the junta, protests erupted, resulting in casualties as citizens demanded relief from soaring food prices. Bah Oury called for an end to strikes, advocating for collaborative efforts to tackle pressing challenges gradually.

As a trained economist, Bah Oury’s mandate extends beyond forming a new government to addressing the economic hardships endured by Guineans. His swearing-in, witnessed by interim President Mamady Doumbouya, signified a pivotal moment in Guinea’s political landscape following the military coup in September 2021.

Bah Oury’s political career spans decades, marked by founding and leading opposition parties and serving as minister of national reconciliation in a consensus government. Despite exile and legal entanglements, his return to Guinea in 2016 heralded a new chapter in his political journey.

Guinea aims to restore democratic governance within ten months, with elections slated to end the junta’s two-year transition period. Amidst the impasse between the junta and the opposition, Bah Oury’s wealth of experience offers hope for resolving the nation’s political and economic crises.
