The delay tactics of the CNDD

Currently some shady maneuvers, long in the planning, are being put into play.
1st Maneuver: Since the country realized that the CNDD and Captain Moussa Dadis Camara are the executors of Lansana Conte’s will, Guineans have expressed their disgust to this band of killers. Thus the need to kill a hundred youth manifesting their right to live off of their countries’ wealth. Each Guinean will remember how the repression turned into the massacre of protestors on the 28th of September at the stadium bearing the same name. In this Guinea where those guilty of economic and blood crimes are declared innocent as long as they are military personnel or generous with their ill gotten Dollars or Euros with members of the junta. The legitimate aspiration of the people has been turned into a scheme to enrich members of a shady military oligarchy. It is claimed everywhere that we are fighting narcotraffickers. But it is just to substitute other networks that are as mafia-like as the ones we pretend to have destroyed. Clever but dishonest. One has to wonder if this is the “Officer’s promise” of the bloodthirsty Captain Dadis and his band of killers. To summarize: the alliance between custom dodging traders and soldiers (captains, majors and lieutenants) is a reality. It is the primary way that narcotraffickers are resettling in Guinea.
2nd maneuver: The usual red flag about imaginary rebels ready to attack Guinea’s borders. The country is determined to kick out the junta whose principals are the murderers of January and February 2007 as well as 28th September 2009. The treasury is broke, pillaged by the friends of the CNDD. Each member of the junta has his own private army. In fact, Dadis and his CNDD are making fun of Guineans. Political activities have been banned including the slightest movement by a political leader. This pathetic scheme has another benefit. To stop unwanted protests, weapons and therefore lots of money is needed. This arouses the interest of China for our country or better yet the country’s wealth, the Chinese government, for example, could provide a bunch of soldiers millions of dollars and weapons. The narcotraffickers stand ready to assist in this business. It is much easier to deal with illiterate soldiers seeking instant gratification than to negotiate with a team of patriots with great credentials. In the former, one can expect a 100-fold increase in investment in the short term. In the latter, the entire country is awakened to its capacity for action. The pillaging networks become harder to establish. There is no guarantee that one can successfully implement them without being noticed.
The people wanted to express its disapproval of the junta yet the world is now witness to the massacre of more than 150 Guineans by the Guinean Army. The CNDD is a band of killers. Guineans believe that the time for civil disobedience has arrived since obeying orders from the CNDD is akin to accepting orders from a Claude PIVI or a vulgar vengeful Moussa Dadis Camara.
Each Guinean has as much legitimacy as Moussa Dadis, maybe more so. We have never killed a fellow citizen. Guinea is at the crossroads and the pages of history are being written as we watch. The time has arrived for Guineans to unite for a new strategy of victory, positive change and renewal for a better Guinea deserving of its economic potential. This new strategy of change will rely on a deep aspiration for a political system that will put the “Guinean Citizen” at the heart of everything, along with the importance of quality of life.
Fatalism is taking hold after 50 years of independence. Nobody believes in anything anymore yet chatter fills the air with verbiage. The lack of competency at the top of the CNDD is obvious.
We call upon Guineans to embrace a new vision of politics, open and brotherly. It is the ultimate and ideal moment to build a different political system that will make way for reform, take into account the aspirations of the masses in all of its complexities, understand the realities of our time and draw the lessons for the well being of the nation. 50 years of perdition has caused a chronic political instability, an atmosphere of violence with its cohort of suffering and misery, losses in human life, institutional deficiencies both social and economic, destroyed families, broken dreams, tears and despair. The time has come to take a new orientation that will put an end to the long agony of the Guinean people.
May God protect Guinea and Guineans.
