The first democratically elected president in the history of the West African nation of Guinea, 83-year-old Alpha Conde, was overthrown and abducted last Sunday in a military coup.
The attack on Conde’s elected government has Washington’s fingerprints all over it. The White House is publicly disavowing the violence, but the coup’s leader, Col. Mamadi Doumbouya (pictured above), was trained by the United States in Burkina Faso.
More evidence of US involvement can be seen in video obtained by National Justice,showing members of US Special Forces accompanying Col. Doumbouya’s forces in the capital city of Conakry.
Flight patterns registered on Radarbox of what appears to be a CIA plane show that it departed from Andrews Air Force base and was flying all over Africa last week, with a witness claiming to have seen it land in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
When asked for context on the video above, a source in the Special Forces community told National Justice that his theory is that the CIA did a poor job coordinating both Guinean forces and the American personnel’s mission so they were caught red-handed on the scene.
Washington’s motive for taking down the government is related to Conde’s close ties with China, marking an escalation in the Cold War over African resources, mostly iron ore and bauxite in Guinea’s case. After winning the country’s first free and fair election in 2010, Conde rejected the terms of Western financial aid and chose infrastructure oriented developmental cooperation with China instead .
Most of the neoconservative and neoliberal think-tank establishment appears to be justifying the coup by fixating on the supposed hypocrisy of his relationship to China, which has strongly condemned the coup.
Both the United States and NATO have been furious at Africa’s deepening ties in recent years. Many African states have stated that they prefer dealing with China over the US and Europe due to the fact that Beijing’s trade agreements are straightforward — developing infrastructure in exchange for resources — while not intervening their domestic political affairs or trying to re-engineer their cultures through liberal NGOs.
Rather than change failing diplomatic overtures to be more appealing to African nations, the “rules-based liberal order” looks like it may prefer to simply overthrow popularly elected governments instead. If scenes like Guinea repeat themselves in other states, China may be forced to deepen its engagement with Africa beyond its simple roads-for-minerals strategy.

Guinea is a major supplier of bauxite, the feedstock needed to make aluminum, and accounts for more than half of the imports by China.
This was a mafia hit by US deep state gangsters.
Lesson to all countries of the global south: if the US offers to train your military for free, their agenda is to keep you on a short leash. The US has about 700 bases in the world, in over 80 countries. They can destabilize you by creating and arming rebel groups, or destabilize you by coup from within, often simultaneously.
Any idiot who is serving abroad in the US special forces in the training/mentor role who doesn’t understand how the game is played is a moron. You’re not ‘freeing the oppressed’ or ‘spreading democracy’ or ‘combatting terror’, you’re playing a small part in enforcing crime by banksters.

Double Medal of Honor winner and former Major General in the USMC, Smedley Butler, would agree 100% with your statement, as do I.
From Butler’s 1935 interview with “Common Sense” magazine:
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism….Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

What? The US isn’t “interfering” all over the world to bring democracy, but it’s for profit? The first two commenters are people with brains who can see past their noses. They’re 100% correct! It’s nice to know not all people are stupid and believe everything our Western governments tell them.
after being shut down in venezuela and bolivia, it seems the u.s. has decided to pick on smaller countries (haiti, guinea) that they can still throw up against the wall and loot. kind of like invading grenada after being run out of lebanon.
Maybe some American colonels should be watching how it’s done. It would be fascinating to see democracy restored in the USA.

this is a nice “gotcha” piece, but do you guys really care about what happens to blacks? from what i understand everyone to you is a n-towerbrick, a pajeet, or whatever.
Great find. These CIA agents likely operated from their Ugandan base, which is ironic, because Uganda’s President is almost the same age as his Guinean counterpart and the same coup is likely planned for him unless he retires soon, but this time the prize will be oil.
China does what US have done always. There is no hope for African Countries
Well it would make sense since gheir was no major uproar in the western press about the coup. If they dont try to blame Russia or China or maybe Iran or Venzeuala or Cuba – then they keep quiet. So since blaming one of them on this would be absurd – they stay relatively quiet.
But no surprise whatsoever that he was trained by the US military. That is certainly a pattern. MIC rules the roost.
Really? When did the US build whole cities in Africa? When did the US build mass transit and commutermrail? When did the US build out whole telecommunications networks? When did the US give so many scholarships to African students?? I must have missed all that. Most Africans seem to as well. They know the difference between “aid” to keep them dependent (US) vs actual development pieces to build their socieites (China)
The US now claims that the vids of their smiling troops in convoy with the coup soldiers on that day was actually a training exercise. Once these totally innocent US _special forces_ realized that the coup was happening in the middle of their exercise, and being undertaken by their trainees, they returned to base.
Phew. Thought for a second that the US might have been the bad guys.
