Sidya Touré Re-elected Head of Guinea’s UFR Amid Calls for Political Dialogue

The Union of Republican Forces (UFR) held its congress in Conakry on May 30, re-electing Sidya Touré as party president almost unanimously. From exile in Côte d'Ivoire, Touré paid tribute to missing activists and urged transitional authorities to engage in dialogue with the political class. The congress may lead to lifting the UFR’s suspension, but Touré’s presidential candidacy remains uncertain.
