Although the head of the military junta, Colonel Mamady Doumbouya of Guinea has pledged to hand over power to elected civilians within three years, many do not believe in it. Authorities in Conakry have arrested three members of an opposition organization, including its national coordinator Fonike Mangue. The National Front for the Defence of the Constitution has recently threatened to demonstrate against the military junta. People feel that they are no longer under a rule of law, no longer an open door for dialogue, but they are in a dictatorship. The Guineans will fight for a virtuous democratic country. Pray for God to provide the country with a leader upright in heart to guide them with skillful hand (The Bible, Psalm 78:72).

In May, Chadchart Sittipunt, was appointed the new governor of Bangkok after a landslide victory. Since he was appointed, he has continued to win the praise of many for his incredibly hard work ethic, his down-to-earth approachability, his administration’s unprecedented transparency and accountability, and his savvy use of social media. Pray that this might be a new beginning for Thai politics which has been bogged down in coups and military leadership. Pray for protection around Mr. Sittipunt and his family. Pray that he may grow in stature and favor while remaining wise and humble (The Bible, Psalm 18:27).
