Indeed Bailo. A nation with so much to offer the rest of Africa is being  
allowed to gradually degenerate into hopeless abandon. Conakry is the reserve  of 
African art and culture and a myriad resources to propel her to her  rightful 
place among the envy and inspiration of nations the world over. I look  
forward to more sobriety in government. I join you in prayer for Major  chief 
Sampil and a more active and constructive role by diasporan guineans  particularly 
in the US, Canada, and France.
 
Haruna. Good to hear you again. Best wishes to the family.

Dear  Haruna,
&nbsp;
I was in Conakry for a week last month with some  colleagues&nbsp;to conduct 
a Due Diligence Review of the Insitution that  Youssouf Sampil works for. 
Youssouf was more than a host to us, he treated  us&nbsp;like family. He is a 
gentleman, a Pan-Africanist and a  humanist.
&nbsp;
I pray fro his dad's and other political prisoners  freedom.
&nbsp;
Bailo

La fronde des militaires fait des  victimes
Au moins une  personne tuée et huit blessées, dont un officier, par  des 
balles  perdues tirées par des militaires réclamant le paiement
d'arriérés de   
soldes et qui retenaient mardi le chef d'état-major adjoint de
l'armée,  le  général 
Sampil. Cette crise qui secoue l'armée, intervient juste  après la prise 
de 
fonction vendredi d'un nouveau Premier ministre  Ahmed Tidiane Souaré,
proche  
du chef de l'Etat. Le mouvement a  débuté lundi matin au camp Alfa Yaya
Diallo,  
situé près de  l'aéroport international. Ce camp, le plus grand du pays, 
abrite  des  commandos parachutistes et des troupes d'élite. Les soldats en
colère  
ont  tiré en l'air toute la journée, depuis l'intérieur de  la
garnison. Pour 
appuyer  leurs revendications, ils ont séquestré  le général Mamadou Sampil,
venu 
dialoguer. Son fils, Youssouf, a  apporté des précisions: "Mon papa
n'est  
plus séquestré, il est à  l'intérieur du camp à la demande des
militaires en  
colère".  Afp
