The story always repeats itself twice.

The first time as tragedy, and the second as comedy.

The country of prime ministers continues to be faithful to its values and the population and the opposition learn no lessons. Each time pressure rises in Guinea we switch the Prime Minister to calm spirits and move forward. After the “Consensus” Prime Minister and the “Opening” Prime Minister there was the Junta Prime Minister Kabinet Komara. All raised hopes but what did they really do for Guinea? What marks did they leave for their people?

Today, we speak to you of a Prime Minister from the opposition and everywhere people are dancing and singing in Conakry. Open your eyes, the junta is not stupid—it is a creative way to give the position to the Guinean opposition, which will show that their unity is motivated by gaining power rather than freedom for their people. Without a doubt, each one, to the detriment of the greater interest of the nation will want to place themselves for one party, or place their guy for the other.

We all know from history there is no position in Guinea more unstable and fictionally based than that of the Prime Minister – the “First Minister,” because, for the junta, this position has one simple meaning, the first of all ministers. And this is no secret to the opposition since several of them are well acquainted with the privileges that come with the PM position. The most recent example is the remarkable anger displayed by Dadis Camara against Kabinet Komara for receiving a delegation for the mines without his permission. This is how far the power of a prime minister in Guinea stretches.

The administration is subject to speculations in Guinea and the Guinean peoples’ problem is too delicate for any prime minister as long as the self-proclaimed junta is in power. There are many high stakes facing the success of the transition in Guinea now, and with the approaching nomination of a prime minister from the opposition, we will know how urgent this was among the priorities.
