Women stood, holding their babies and children for more than 4 hours waiting for buses. The cold Fall weather did not discourage them nor did the long distance travel that awaited them. They only showed one single worry: will a bus be available? The hope that Guinean people have on the American government and the European Union to help is huge. These two entities have made it clear that the Cndd is not worth it and must step down; a position that echoes that of the "Les Forces Vives". It must remain clear to all Guineans that two things only can bring the change they are longing for: -Their own continuous involvement until final victory through all kinds of internal pressures (they fail soon as they decide to relax), and -The pressure from the international community that should find ways to bring intervention forces into Guinea. If any of these two fails to be kept up with, the movement for change in Guinea will not be but a vain fight.
