Alpha Condé (N'Ko: ߊߟߑߝߊ߫ ߞߐ߲ߘߍ߫; born 4 March 1938) is a Guinean politician who served as the fourth president of Guinea from 2010 to 2021.

He was active in the National Union of Higher Education (SNESUP), the Association of Guinean Students in France (AEGF), and the Black African Students Federation in France (FEANF), of which he was claimed to be the Executive Coordinator of African National Groups (GN) from 1967 to 1975, overseeing the activities of the Directorate of FEANF.

Condé, along with 47 co-defendants, was charged with hiring mercenaries, planning to assassinate President Conté, and upsetting the state's security.

[14] Upon his return, some reports indicated that he intended to organize the RPG for the municipal elections held in late 2005, but later stated his intention to boycott them.

Moussa Dadis Camara publicly exposed Condé's request to commit anti-democratic and anti-constitutional acts on his behalf.

After he was elected, Condé attempted to improve the mining law in Guinea, in consultation with George Soros in order to reduce corruption in the sector and increase the country's benefit.

Condé turned to Soros to help draw up a mining code that would reduce corruption and increase the government's stake from 15% to 35%.

Global Witness reported that Sable Supported Condé's election campaign, organized logistics and strategic meetings, offered to loan him a helicopter, and paid bribe money to his son, Alpha Mohammed Condé,[20] in order to secure mining permits in a number of areas, including Mount Nimba.

In an email allegedly sent from Alpha Mohammed Condé to Sable in August 2010, he said that backing his father's campaign "will make my dad all the more comfortable to support our business partnerships".

The President later spoke to the country saying that "My house was attacked last night, but I congratulate the presidential guard who fought heroically from 3:10 until 5:00 before backup arrived."

The UN Special Representative for West Africa, Said Djinnit, said that the assault showed "weaknesses remain in Guinea's defence and security systems [and] reinforces the UN's determination to support the country's military reforms.

The opposition coalition withdrew from the electoral process in mid-February, mainly due to Condé's insistence on using a South African firm, Waymark Infotech,[24] to draw up the registered voter list to his political party's benefit.

The ensuing violence resulted in at least twenty deaths and hundreds injured by Condé's security forces, who used live ammunition to disperse peaceful protesters.

[28] While the 2014 Ebola epidemic worsened in Liberia and Sierra Leone, Condé downplayed the outbreak and insisted that his government had everything under control.

[29] Researchers have suggested that the Condé government's interest in attracting foreign investment, particularly in the mining industry, led to him downplaying the spread of the epidemic.

[30] In response to the outbreak, Condé suspended travel bans, stopped flights and widespread quarantine restrictions.

Audio recordings did not implicate the president as there was no indication in it that he was not simply demanding down payment on the $700 million contract on behalf of the government with no payoff involved.

[39] Promising to change the political landscape of Guinea, the military's Special Forces dissolved the constitution and shut the country's land and air borders.

On 9 December 2022, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury sanctioned Condé and over forty others for acts of corruption and human rights violations.
