Guinea Conakry: the facilitator’s ultimate advices

By on September 3, 2010
The President of Burkina Faso, Blaise Compaoré, the Guinean crisis facilitator, has received the two candidates for the second round of the presidential elections in Guinea, scheduled for September 19.

The inherited altercations and scuffles, from the first round, force to believe that the political post-election stability is not fully guaranteed in the country. However,

The country of Sekou Touré is certainly in a turning point of its history, and President Compaoré, the facilitator, appears to have chosen the right time to meet with the two heavyweights of the Guinean political scene, in a way to give them final instructions and ultimate advices for the last lap in the race. Nonetheless, still the president of Burkina Faso has one of the most difficult tasks in how to convince his guests to be flexible and wise enough for the sake of Guinea. How would he manage the two runners to accept the defeat or the success of one or the other on the evening of September the 19TH?

It will be very difficult especially as the activists, the supporters and the sympathizers of each clan firmly believe their champion will win the election.

Guinea has one more step to go and get out of the quagmire. It is therefore to Diallo and Condé to take their responsibilities. An old African adage says, “If someone to wash your back, the minimum expected is that you wash your belly. Bread and Freedom, it is all what the people of Guinea needs the most and it is important not to give them the opposite of what they expect.
