Military seizes power peacefully in Guinea
By United Press International
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — Military leaders in Guinea seized power in an apparently bloodless coup after the death of President Ahmed Sekou Toure, the country's state radio announced yesterday.
The Military Salvation Committee, whose leaders were not immediately named, pledged to release all political prisoners from the prison and natural right to liberty and social justice.
Radio Conakry, monitored in neighboring Ivory Coast and broadcast from the Guinean capital, said a military government had replaced Sekoti Toure's one-party civilian regime.
The military apparently rushed in during a struggle among government leaders to replace Sekou Toure, who died March 26 during an operation in Cleveland after 26 years of single-cadre rule in the western African nation.
"Before we could even dry our tears, the bitter struggle for his successor was begun by his companions," the radio announcement said.
The announcement assured Guinean citizens there would be "no personal dictatorship." There were no reports of bloodshed or shots being fired in the government takeover.
The radio, in a second announcement, did not say how many prisoners would be set free but broadcast
Borro jail in Colombo. The international human rights group Amnesty International has estimated that Sekou Toure imprisoned or rounded up an estimated 2,900 political prisoners since the early 1970s.
recordings revealed prisoners shouting "freedom" after their release from Boiro jail in Conakry, the capital.
The committee also said it would honor Guinea's international commitments and sought "friendly cooperation with all the countries of the world, particularly friendly relations with African countries."
The constitution, Parliament and Sekou Toure's Democratic Party also were dissolved, the radio said. Public meetings were banned and military checkpoints were placed in front of public buildings.
towns will. The military closed the borders and airport, ordered everyone off the streets and imposed a curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Telephone and Telex communications into the country were
cut.
In Washington, State Department spokesman John Hughes said Ambassador James Rosenthal spoke with "representatives of the new government. They have indicated a desire to maintain Guinea's excellent relations with the United States."
The embassy said about 100 U.S. citizens are in Guinea, including the embassy staff and dependents, and all were reported safe.
