Guinea Foul

The long-time leader of the Republic of Guinea recently died, taking one of the last "big men" out of the nation-as-personal-fiefdom business, and before the government could announce a planned transition... the Army called a coup...

which may or may not have succeeded...

but the coup leaders are parading through the streets of Conarky...

...yet the supposed government is claiming they are still in power, too.

Consider this a travel advisory: Might not be a good time to visit; the junta is claiming the government is hiring mercenaries and one would hate to be mistaken for a supporter of the wrong side as this one plays out. After all...

T.I.A.
