ECOWAS and AU should stand their ground and not let the backward forces represented by the coup makers "succeed." Africa is not as helpless as some people seem to think, so that it has to be ruled by renegade roque elements.

Don't betray the Guineans the same way that South Africa's Mbeki betrayed the Zimbabweans.

Wade of Senegal is, as usual, out of step by suggesting the world should let the coup makers free reign. We all remember Wade's unsolicited attempts at placating Mugabe after Mugabe stole elections turned into exercise in futility.

How can Ghana, fellow a ECOWAS member, hold free and fair elections and Guinea cannot ?

It is high time democratic Africa stood up and did the right thing by rejecting, disown and dishonor political thuggery.

We know there are some world opportunists on the ready to cash in (the mineral wealth), but the rogue regime must be isolated unless the allow Guinea to revert to a democratic dispensation. Guinea has a wretched history as but that is no reason to continue to wallow in the same idiocy.

Africa is beginning to have a critical mass of democratic states to tip the scale in favor of a democratic order continent wide.

Dude, why do you assume that 'African' states should be "democratic?"

Unless you want us to treat your cris de couer as a pure PREJUDICE, we demand a founded defense of your assumption, otherwise we shall be constrained to view it as a dogmatic ideological posit.

Now, go to work: produce the theoretical foundation of your bullet from a pistol assertion.
