CONAKRY, Guinea — Guinea’s military junta appointed a veteran opposition leader Tuesday as the country’s new prime minister, a crucial step that sets the stage for the military to cede power to civilians in elections within the next six months.
Jean-Marie Dore is an outspoken critic of junta leader Capt. Moussa “Dadis” Camara and was brutally beaten by his soldiers when he helped lead a demonstration calling for an end to military rule.
Under intense pressure, Camara agreed to go into exile due to his failing health.
