Guinea coup leader declares himself president. Not too long after the death of longtime President Lansana Conte, the leader of a military junta that subsequently took over the government, Capt. Moussa Dadis Camara, declared himself president of the country’s National Council for Democracy, reports CNN. The move, in effect, makes him the president of Guinea. Camara also instituted a curfew from 8 p.m. until 6:30 a.m for citizens, during the announcement made on the radio. He also suspended the government, constitution, political parties and unions, according to African journalist reports CNN. The nation’s Parliament currently is negotiating with the military, according to Africa News reporter Mamdo Dian Donghol Diallo. Despite the changes, the country seems calm, he says. “For the time being the situation is calm and negotiations are underway. There is no traffic. Everyone is staying inside their homes.” But international groups, like the African Union, have come out against the coup.
