In 2016, French news organization FRANCE 24 released audio recordings that appear to prove that the mining company Rio Tinto paid Guinean government official and close acquaintance of the president François de Combret a sum of $10.5 million for mining rights in the Simandou mine. President Condé says that de Combret acted alone. Audio recordings do not implicate the president as there is no indication in it that he was not simply demanding down payment on the $700 million contract on behalf of the government with no payoff involved. Rio Tinto admitted to the payment in November 2016. | In 2016, French news organization FRANCE 24 released audio recordings that appear to prove that the mining company Rio Tinto paid Guinean government official and close acquaintance of the president François de Combret a sum of $10.5 million for mining rights in the Simandou mine.

However, the first democratically elected president in the history of Guinea, Alpha Condé, had since been "widely considered a dictator", notes France 24. The last years of his mandate were thus criticized by human rights defenders, who deplored a authoritarian drift of his power36. The teacher-researcher Doudou Sidibe completes: “Alpha Condé is allergic to criticism and his model of governance is not to discuss with the opposition, radical as moderate. This created a tension in Guinean political life, which ended up pushing the military to take power to satisfy the needs of the population”. | ||
