On Sept. 5, Col. Mamady Doumbouya (41) —former French legionnaire and head of the country's Special Forces Group— seized power in Guinea from President Alpha Condé (83). Threading some footage that surfaced on social media, and some geolocations. nytimes.com/2021/09/05/wor… Image
Heavy gunfire was heard in the capital Conakry on Sunday morning. This video shows the 8 Nov. Bridge connecting Camayenne and Coleah in Kaloum, the tip of the peninsula where the Presidential Palace is located.
This video shows six military vehicles and about a double dozen troops just at Ave de la Republique and Blvd de Commerce — just a block away from the President Palace.
This video, already geolocated by @mafihachk, shows smoke rising very close to the Presidential Palace. The church you see is Cathedrale Sainte Marie, which is situated next to it.
Then: photos and videos surface of Condé being held in custody by (mostly masked) men. Photos attached, and videos of those same moments:

“Finally, the head of Guinea’s special forces announced on state television that the constitution, government and all institutions were dissolved. He had staged a coup.” nytimes.com/2021/09/05/wor… Image
“Other videos showed Guineans taking to the streets in celebration and military vehicles moving through Conakry, accompanied by dozens of motorcycles, their riders raising fists in the air.” Lots of footage on the wires, see: nytimes.com/video/world/af…

When Bashar al-Assad’s regime collapsed in Syria, many of the officials who enabled and enforced his brutal regime disappeared. Our reporting uncovers who they are, what they did and where they fled. nyti.ms/3J1W5Cs
The story above is the first installment of our ongoing reporting project on Assad's key enforcers — those who oversaw torture, directed massacres, and ordered chemical attacks. Just a few of the hooros of the civil war that left half a million people dead.
After Assad's fall in December and with accountability looming, most of these officials fled or hid. Rumors swirled in their wake, leading to many dead ends. But in some cases, these clues brought us directly to their doorsteps.

Thread with satellite imagery of the California wildfires.
Smoke and clouds largely obscured the northwestern sections of the LA suburbs (Palisades, Malibu), but shortwave infrared (SWIR) sensor helps penetrate that and extensive damage and hundreds of active fires can be seen. Location: 34.045, -118.540. 🛰️📸: @Maxar Image
@Maxar By blending the SWIR image of today with an older (pre-fires) optical image, it's possible to see where the fires are burning compared to the houses. This is The Summit neighborhood, Pacific Palisades. Location: 34.074, -118.563. 🛰️📷: @Maxar Image
