Developing Story
The President of Guinea Conakry, Colonel Mamady Doumbouya is expected to arrive in the administrative capital of Mali, Bamako, this Wednesday, African Report Files has reported. The two West-African Heads of State will be meeting for the first time since assuming leadership through military coups in their respective countries.
Colonel Mamady Doumbouya and Colonel Assimi Goïta have vowed to conduct the two states’ relationship under the guidelines of their founding fathers, the late famous Pan-Africanists Madibo Këita and Sekou Touré. This meeting follows a security and economic agreement between the two conflict-ridden countries reached in August, according to sources.
Sanctions against Bamako have dealt blow to Conakry economy given the two countries’ interdependency. One of the affected economic development projects is the African Development Bank’s electricity interconnection project, upon which the bank suspended its disbursements to AU-sanctioned Bamako in April
