Guinea coup leader Mamady Doumbouya sworn in as president.

One month after staging a bloodless coup in Guinea, Mamady Doumbouya, 41 years-old, becomes Africa's second youngest leader after Mali's Assimi Goïta, 38 who also took over the country in a similar way.

As an agreement towards reviving civilian rule, the new president has appointed Mohamed Béavogui as the prime minister untill such a time when the country is ready to go into a credible and transparent general elections.

The ousted leader, Mr Condé, 83, is in detention after the takeover, with Col Doumbouya assuring French media he was with them in a "safe place."

His exact whereabouts remain unclear.

Before his rise to power the colonel maintained a low profile, but what makes him stand out is his international military experience, according to West Africa Political Analyst Paul Melly.
