Did I hear AU and ECOWAS condemning the military takeover in Guinea? Do AU and ECOWAS have what it takes to be true custodians of democracy? Where were AU and ECOWAS when Lansana Conteh actually, and in broad day light, seized power in questionable elections? I do not support the military takeover, but I think the military takeover is the less of the two evils. Having said that, the AU and ECOWAS should take more proactive positions on issues than to beat drums of rethorics just to give the international community a false sense of appeasement.

This has nothing to do with the AU or whatever.

We condemn soupists whether robed in civilian garb or khaki: down with the soupist coupists.

Please note, as a partial confirmation of our theory of territoriality, that the soupist gun toter, Camara, did not mention, in his announcement of the estrangement of power from his fellow soupists in 'parliament', THE NATION OF GUINEA.

And, correctly so: ain't no nation called "GUINEA." An occupied West African territory called "Guinea" vraiment.

I think the only effective solution to address the current political situation and the chronic corruption and crime is the military takeover. What will be the AU position if Mugabe is overthrown? I am very curious to know. Anyway, for the military takeover to be very effective, i suggest the following:

- an effective border control - arrest all members of the Conte regime - restructure the system (including the police) - bring in new constitution - ensure the best interest of all Guinean is served by giving them shares in all commercial contracts from foreign countries - the basic… [Read Full Text]

Effective solution, you say, is a "military takeover"?

A fatal fissure in that categorial construction is the absence of the qualifier "soupist."

ALL COUPS IN WEST AFRICA SINCE THE SHAM INDEPENDENCE FROM THE SHACKLES OF BRITISH AND FRENCH IMPERIALISM have been soupist coups, sponsored by civilians who cannot nuke it out IN PLAIN VIEW with opposing, fake elections empowered soupist factions.

WE CANNOT CONDEMN THE PEOPLE FOR CHEERING THEIR VULTURES IN KHAKI GARBS, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT TO THINK AFTER DECADES OF SOUPIST OSSIFIED BRAINWASHING.

Camara, similar to Conteh, is a SOUPIST.

Not even Christ can be otherwise, given… [Read Full Text]

"soupist"? Are you suggesting that the Conte's administration and chronic corrupt governemnt should continue to lead Guinea? Here is a question for you: if Mugabe is overthrown now, what will be your position or you think will be the position of the AU, the USA or the economic communities? Civilian and a proper democratic government is a long term solution. However, under the current circumstances and considering the never ending of the suffering of the Guinean, I think that the effective solution to address the issues is the military takeover to clean the system.

What is your suggestion to… [Read Full Text]

from every indication , Camarra might change one or two things. Not every military man is a war monger or dictator. I was actually expectin an exchange of bullets since the army is divided but this hasn't happened yet. I guess he's doing the right thing. All the Conte regime needs to be X-rayed well for corruption reasons and kept away from this new gov't. Camarra is not a stack illiterate. he has studied well and was trained abroad. He knows wat he's doing; The AU and ECOWAS should solve the problem in Zimbabwe before moving to Guinea. They are… [Read Full Text]

Thank you for your comment -Halleydavidson. Your thinking and observation is consistent with mine. We should all support Camara for his courage and good thinking. The system should be retructured and must not include any of Conte's regime. The only job the old regime should be given in order to be productive is hard labour to build the railways and factoris they sold out. They should be jailed and asked to rebuild the railways lines and clean the streets with a very close supervison and monitoring.
