Women in Conakry initiated a protest movement, blocking access to the city center to express their dissatisfaction with unfulfilled promises of aid following the explosion of the hydrocarbon depot in December. These protests quickly spread to include demands against rising prices for basic necessities and internet restrictions.

The situation became more tense when the Conakry airport website was hacked by the Anonymous 224 collective, denouncing Internet and media restrictions in Guinea. Faced with this growing atmosphere of protest, the Guinean authorities finally lifted the Internet access restrictions after three months, thanks to internal pressure and the unions' call for a general strike.

In addition, the Guinean authorities froze the accounts of members of the dissolved government without providing any public explanation, fuelling tensions in the country. Faced with pressure from the street, the head of the junta appointed a new Prime Minister in the hope of resolving the crisis, but demonstrations and union demands persisted.

The sentencing of Sékou Jamal Pendessa to six months' imprisonment, three of which were suspended, for having called for a demonstration against Internet restrictions, triggered a new wave of protests and strengthened the unions' determination to keep up the pressure on the government. The general strike called by the unions paralyzed the capital Conakry, with strong mobilization in all sectors of the economy, both private and public. Eventually, his release led to the suspension of the general strike by the unions, marking a pause in social tensions, even if the political situation remains tense.

At the same time, the political situation is marked by the fact that the military will remain in power until 2025. The new Prime Minister, Amadou Oury Bah, has justified this decision by citing the economic crisis, political and social tensions, and the need to hold a constitutional referendum by the end of the year. Despite some delays in implementing the electoral calendar, the Prime Minister asserts that the constitutional referendum should be held by the end of the year, paving the way for other electoral processes. Denying that the junta led by General Mamadi Doumbouya is seeking to cling to power, he asserts that the "leadership at the head of Guinea" aims to restore normalcy to the country. 

Meanwhile, the trial of the September 28 massacre, in which security forces opened fire on peaceful demonstrators, resumes. The public prosecutor has asked for the facts to be reclassified as crimes against humanity, following the examination of audio and video evidence. As a reminder, this massacre resulted in the deaths of at least 150 people and numerous injuries, with reports of over 100 women raped by the security forces. The reopening of the trial is therefore a crucial moment for justice in Guinea, with expectations regarding the legal qualification of the tragic events of 2009.
