Mamady Doumbouya
Mamady Doumbouya (N'Ko: ߡߊ߬ߡߊߘߌ߫ ߘߎ߲ߓߎߦߊ߫, born 5 December 1984) is a Guinean general serving as the current fifth president of Guinea since 1 October 2021. He maintained his position after he won the 2025 Guinean presidential election in a landslide victory. Doumbouya led a coup d'état on 5 September 2021 that overthrew the previous president, Alpha Condé.
He is a member of the Special Forces Group of the Guinean military and a former French legionnaire. On the day of the coup, Doumbouya issued a broadcast on state television declaring that his faction had dissolved the government and constitution. On 1 October 2021, Doumbouya was sworn in as interim president. He became the head of the military junta that seized power following the coup d'état.
Doumbouya was born on 5 December 1984 in the Kankan Region of Guinea. He is of Mandinka origins. He attended primary school at Dramé Oumar school.
Doumbouya was a French legionnaire holding the rank of corporal until the end of his contract in 2009.
He returned to Guinea in 2011, where he was posted to the Centre d'instruction d'infanterie of Camp Kwamé Krumah first as instructor and then as Director of studies. He received unit commander training in Senegal and then was posted to Kindia's Centre d'instruction d'infanterie.
In 2018, Doumbouya was named head of the Special Forces Group, an elite military unit created by President Alpha Condé. When he took office, receiving promotion to the rank of battalion commander, his international experience was cited, including training he had completed in a number of different countries. In 2018, he met Assimi Goïta, from Mali, in Burkina Faso at a US Army training session for regional special forces commanders. Both he and Assimi Goïta would later launch military coups against their governments. He worked in this role for country's intelligence services, based in Forécariah. He was further promoted to lieutenant colonel in 2019 and to colonel in 2020. In 2021, he was said to have been seeking more authority for the Special Forces Group. During his presidency, he was promoted to general in 2024 and at the same time, resigned from his command of the Special Forces Group.
Doumbouya was deployed on missions to Afghanistan, Ivory Coast, Djibouti, Central African Republic, Israel, Cyprus, the UK and Guinea, during his 15-year career.
He was one of 25 officials from Guinea that the European Union threatened to sanction over allegations of human rights abuses of journalists, such as Foniké Menguè, and Habib Marouane Camara.
