I think you're right Haruna. Let's hope that wiser heads prevail in Conakry, though with very few exceptions, these seem to be in very short supply among our soldiers. I am hoping something crucially important happens before Kabine's tastebuds are touched by the power bug. Merry Xmas to you.

You're most welcome Galleh. I think the Achilles heel will be to see Kabine Komara not only resign his post from the CNDD, but to join the FORCES VIVES put together an interim commission to prosecute the elections (without himself contesting any office until after the first term of the ensuing new government). This will send 2 signals:
 
1. Komara's continued association with the CNDD indicates that he is not significantly disturbed by the La-Guinea murders and that he continues to be accesory to the murders by remaining PM of a potentially culpable institution - The CNDD and President Dadis. Therefore his resignation will divorce him from acts of criminality that amount to crimes against humanity and standing in the way of La-Guinea's further relief by assigning some measure of legitimacy to the CNDD government which retards the maturity of a civilian interim government.
 
2. Komara's continued role as PM of CNDD cannot relieve him of any sanctions against the CNDD to include freezing of accounts and travel ban. There is a moral component in his public resignation and active assistance to the Forces Vives to bring a semblance of contrition for the crimes and relief to the anxious people of La-Guinea.
 
On a side note, I don't think it will be wise for Ahmed Tidiane SOuare and any member of the Lansana Conte government to form any part of the transition government or new government at least for her first term in office. They contributed to the sophomoric attitude that inured Dadis and the CNDD when they could have held elections while Lansana was alive and allowed the indigent President to seek treatment for his vegetative condition.
 
What do you think Galleh? Thanx for your thoughts.
 
Haruna.

They already have accounts in European banks? Quick thieves I'd say. Yes, they need to be made to pay for their crimes. A similar or worse fate should befall all criminals in power who choose to play with human lives. Thanks for sharing Haruna.

Meanwhile, the EU tightens the neuse around the culpable CNDD and government officials. The list of names will be published soon on the EU website. They are banned from entering or exiting all territories in Europe. You know that's the entire world. Their accounts held in European banks are also frozen. These sanctions are in addition to EU's quarter-long sanctions on arms and munitions to La-Guinea. If I were the CNDD, I'd drop the keys to my locker and run. To Beirut or Tripoli. Or Sudan for that matter.
 
Allez!!! Haruna.
 
Camara "a l’intention de rentrer le plus vite possible en Guinée"
Le chef de la junte guinéenne Moussa Dadis Camara est toujours hospitalisé à Rabat, "il va mieux et a l’intention de retourner le plus vite possible à Conakry", a déclaré mardi à l’AFP l’ambassadeur de Guinée au Maroc, Mamadouba Diabaté.
Moussa Dadis Camara a été blessé à la tête le 3 décembre à Conakry par son aide de camp, le lieutenant Aboubacar Sidiki Diakité, alias Toumba, toujours en fuite.
Transporté par avion au Maroc le lendemain, il a été hospitalisé à la clinique royale de l’hôpital militaire Mohammed V de Rabat et, le 6 décembre, opéré d’un "traumatisme crânien".
Moussa Dadis Camara "communique régulièrement avec le gouvernement à Conakry dès que le besoin se fait sentir", a affirmé M. Diabaté.
Interrogé sur les propos tenus mardi par le ministre français des Affaires étrangères Bernard Kouchner, qui a mis en garde contre les risques de guerre civile si M. Camara rentrait en Guinée, Mamadouba Diabaté a répondu "ne pas vouloir commenter ce genre de déclarations car elles sont préjudiciables aussi bien sur le plan humain que politique".
"Je souhaite que M. Dadis Camara reste dans son lit au Maroc et non qu’il revienne" en Guinée "car il serait capable,rien que son retour, de déclencher une guerre civile et on n’en a pas besoin", a déclaré mardi M. Kouchner à l’Assemblée nationale.
Moussa Dadis Camara avait été porté au pouvoir par l’armée le 23 décembre 2008, au lendemain de la mort du dictateur Lansana Conté (1984-2008). RABAT (AFP) - mardi 22 décembre 2009 - 17h57

L’Union européenne durcit les sanctions contre la Guinée
L’Union européenne durcit ses sanctions à l’encontre de la junte militaire en Guinée, au lendemain de la publication d’un rapport accablant des Nations unies sur le massacre du 28 septembre à Conakry. Pour le chef de la diplomatie française Bernard Kouchner il y a un risque de guerre civile si le chef de la junte Dadis Camara revient en Guinée.
Au lendemain du rapport accablant des Nations unies sur les crimes contre l’humanité commis par les militaires guinéens, l’Union européenne a pris une double décision.
Elle durcit ses sanctions adoptées le 27 octobre à l’encontre de Conakry. L’embargo sur les armes et munitions est renforcé et englobe l’interdiction d’exporter tout équipement ou matériel pouvant servir à la répression.
Deuxièmement, l’Europe ajoute des noms sur la liste des dirigeants guinéens, membres ou associés du CNDD, qui font l’objet de mesures ciblées. Ils seront à leur tour interdits d’entrée et de transit sur le territoire européen.
Les Vingt-Sept ont également décidé de geler tous les fonds et les ressources économiques que ces responsables guinéens détiennent en Europe. Les nouveaux noms seront divulgués très prochainement, dès publication, au journal officiel de l’Union. Une trentaine de noms seraient ajoutés au quarante-deux, figurant déjà sur la liste, qui avait été dressée en octobre, avec en première ligne, le nom du capitaine Dadis Camara.
