Alpha Condé (born 4 March 1938) is a Guinean politician. He became the President of Guinea. He began his term as President in 2010. The president before him was Sékouba Konaté.[1] The news reported he may have been bribed by a mining company.[2]

Condé was arrested and removed from power on 5 September 2021 by members of the Republic of Guinea Armed Forces.[3]

On December 9, 2022, the US Treasury published a list of more than forty personalities targeted by sanctions for acts of corruption and human rights violations.
