We pray for Gen. Konate's good health and strength to see La-Guinea through her cascading states of flux. I encourage all opposition leaders who are now exiled, to return to La-Guinea upon the assurances of their safety and invitation by Gen Konate. It is imperative that La-GUinea has a transitional government in place to ward off instability issuing from sentinel regimes of flux. Allez!! Haruna.

Interim Guinea junta leader Sekouba Konate 'sick'

Gen Konate recently visited Cpt Camara in hospital Guinea's interim junta leader Sekouba Konate is to be flown to Senegal, officials say, amid reports he is sick. He has been in charge of Guinea while Capt Moussa Dadis Camara is recovering in a Moroccan hospital from bullet wounds sustained in a plot to kill him. If confirmed, this would raise further fears of instability in Guinea. Earlier, the International Criminal Court said it would send a prosecutor to Guinea to investigate a massacre of opposition protesters last year. Senegal's official APS news agency reports that Senegal has sent a plane to Conakry to pick up Gen Konate. "He is ailing. He will be in Dakar at the beginning of the afternoon," a source in the presidency told the AFP news agency, following similar reports in the local media. Capt Camara was evacuated to Morocco in early December after an attempt on his life by a former aide. A renegade soldier, Lt Toumba Diakite, has said he carried out the shooting after he was told to take the blame for the massacre in September 2009. Rights groups say more than 150 people were killed when the military opened fire on protesters in a stadium in Conakry on 28 September. There were also reports of women being gang-raped by soldiers. Lt Diakite remains on the run and Gen Konate has led a military crackdown on anyone believed to be connected to the attack, arresting dozens of people.
