The Military Committee of National Restoration (French: Comité militaire de redressement national, CMRN) was the ruling junta of Guinea which seized power in a coup d'état on 3 April 1984,[1] following the death of President Ahmed Sékou Touré on 26 March.[2] It was composed of 18 members who represented the three tribes of the country, including Col. Lansana Conté, President from 1984 to 2008, , Facinet Touré and Diarra Traoré, Prime Minister in 1984, who was executed following a failed coup attempt in 1985.[3][4] It was dissolved on 16 January 1991 and replaced by the Transitional National Recovery Committee (CTRN), which was chaired and composed on equal basis by civilians and military.
