FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TRANSITIONAL MILITARY COUNCIL OF THE REPUBLIC OF GUINEA
OFFICE OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND SOVEREIGN INTEGRITY

 

The Transitional Military Council announces that Guinean security forces operating near Jableh have eliminated two armed foreign operatives linked to an illegal French intelligence network operating inside the Republic of Guinea. The individuals ignored repeated orders to surrender and opened hostilities while attempting to cross into a restricted military security corridor. Both were neutralized by Guinean forces.

 

Weapons, encrypted communications equipment, forged identification papers, and intelligence materials recovered at the scene confirm direct foreign involvement in ongoing destabilization efforts against the Guinean state. Preliminary investigations conducted by military intelligence indicate that the so-called International Development Assistance Program (IDAP) has been operating as a covert French proxy organization under the false cover of humanitarian work. Evidence suggests IDAP personnel have coordinated with French intelligence officers to gather military intelligence, transport illegal communications equipment, conceal armed actors inside aid compounds, and support efforts to undermine Guinea’s lawful transitional government.

 

The Transitional Military Council further believes these operations are part of a broader French campaign to restore foreign political influence and re-establish colonial domination over Guinea through espionage, economic sabotage, disinformation, and armed subversion.

Over the last twenty-four hours, multiple Guinean servicemen have been killed in attacks conducted near IDAP-controlled facilities and foreign aid encampments. Military investigators are examining direct connections between these attacks and French-backed operatives currently active inside the country.

 

Accordingly, the following emergency security measures are now in effect nationwide:

• The French Ambassador is declared persona non grata and must leave Guinea within 24 hours.

• All French diplomatic, intelligence, and military personnel are ordered to depart Guinean territory immediately.

• All IDAP operations within Guinea are suspended indefinitely.

• Any individual employed by, cooperating with, or providing support to IDAP will be detained pending counterintelligence investigation.

• IDAP compounds, vehicles, warehouses, and communications infrastructure are now under military control.

• Foreign NGOs operating inside Guinea will undergo immediate security review and inspection.

• Expanded counterintelligence and border security operations are now authorized nationwide under emergency wartime authority.

 

The Transitional Military Council warns all foreign governments against interference in Guinea’s internal affairs. Any nation found supporting armed groups, espionage networks, or attempts to destabilize the republic will face decisive retaliation. Guinea will never again submit to foreign occupation, foreign manipulation, or colonial control disguised as humanitarian assistance.

 

The people of Guinea are urged to remain vigilant against foreign agents, collaborators, and disinformation campaigns designed to weaken national unity and sovereignty. Suspicious activity should be reported immediately to the nearest military authority.
