Guinea’s ousted ex-president Alpha Conde has returned to the countryafter a trip to the United Arab Emirates for medical treatment, the ruling junta said on Sunday.
"Conde returned to Conakry this afternoon after medical treatment in the United Arab Emirates,” according to a junta statement read on television.
Conde who was Guinea’s first democratically elected president in 2010 was deposed by army officers last year and replaced by Colonel Mamady Doumbouya.
The coup followed mass protest in Guinea's capital city of Conakry over the 84-year-old ruler's successful bid for a third term in office.
He was allowed to leave the country for treatment in January following demands from ECOWAS.
