Colonel Mamady Doumbouya announced on Saturday that he had opted for a transition period of “39 months” before returning power to civilians. The head of the junta, however, did not specify from when the delay would begin. “There emerges a median proposal for a consensual duration of the transition of 39 months,” said the officer in a televised address to the nation after political consultations boycotted by very many parties. He assures that this proposal will be submitted to the National Transitional Council, the Transitional Parliament.
