Guinea Conakry: Do not kill the democratic process
The importance of the number and the quality of the detained officers give evidence on the scale of the threats pressing on the current process. It is to wonder what will happen to Guinea after the elections. One human rights NGO’s responsible declared that it is worthless to create tensions which can prevent the holding of this election; but from another side and the fact that the detainees are held in the national Gendarmerie, translates a wise moderation. While waiting for what should be made of Dadis Camara’s sympathizers, we cannot refrain from believing that certain malaise reigns within the Guinean army. The warnings repeated by General Sékouba Konaté testify of it. This malaise seems to persist on the eve of the presidential election. The recent rehabilitation of 80 soldiers, rejected out of the Guinean army in 1998 under the deceased and former president, General Lansana Konté, is not going to facilitate things.
Now, it is up to the military authorities to know how to manage the new situation at best. Because, some clash or fighting will have to take place inevitably. And as usual, they will be followed by gratings of teeth. Arrests operated recently in the camp of the Dadis Camara’s partisans constitute a clear message to all: General Sékouba Konaté likes a better outcome of the current democratic process.
