Guinea: Mediation and Influence
By African Bulletin on August 10, 2010
The Capital, Conakry lived an intense diplomatic show, in hosting alternately Blaise Compaoré and Abdoulaye Wade visits, but in a climate of suspicion and no date promulgated for the second round of the elections.
The first personage, President Blaise Compaoré, arrived last Tuesday. He is the mediator of the Guinean crisis, sponsor of the Ouagadougou agreements and the host of the ousted president Dadis Camara. The Head of State of Burkina Faso is presented as a potential mentor of the historical opponent Alpha Condé in the presidential race.
The second personage is President Abdoulaye Wade. He arrived in the footsteps of his counterpart from Burkina Faso. The Senegalese president received the political dignitaries and the senior military brass of the country. Analysts said there was an obvious desire to take up the issue of the Guinean crisis. Although it is believed that this visit is far from an operation of stealing the limelight from the Burkina Faso president Blaise Compaoré, President Wade retains fondness esteem for the candidate Cellou Dalein Diallo, considered as a “brother, racy and more emancipated “. The other challenger in the race, Alpha Condé, and despite the political friendship that goes back for decades, remains for him a “hard interlocutor” that should be managed but not that much hugged.
President Wade is closely linked to the wealthy Fulani businessman, Sadakadji Diallo, considered as the financial arm of the UFDG (Cellou Dalein’s party). The latter would have invested in several areas of activities, in Senegal for the recent years.
