Faced with the CNRD, which shows itself ready to do anything to roll out its program of refoundation, the merits of which it never ceases to praise, a change of strategy is essential for opponents of the conduct of the transition. But this change is not only strategic, it must be emphasized, it is also and above all mental.
As Albert Einstein said, “it’s impossible to do the same thing and expect different results”. This quote should inspire all those who fight for democratic values like those who do not share the way the country is currently run.
Ironically, as in 2009, the country’s sociopolitical actors decided a few weeks ago to unite once morest the junta in power in Guinea.
Between the unilateral management of the transition, the lack of dialogue and the numerous cases of violation of human rights which result in legal proceedings without respect for procedures and the prolonged detention without trial of opinion leaders, and the killings on the Axis, the leaders of the living forces of Guinea do not intend to let themselves be walked on.
To express their disapproval of this reality, these actors take to the streets.
As if we are still in 2012-2013 or 2019-2020, the country is in the grip of violent demonstrations with the key to deaths and injuries.
Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya, alone, already has on his back more than 20 Guineans killed between 2021 and 2023, all in the Commune of Ratoma, bastion of political protest for more than 10 years.
Why is it only on the Axis that deaths sometimes assimilated to “targeted assassinations” are recorded?
Why is it this area that continues to be the victim of all diets?
How to end the stigmatization of the citizens of Ratoma?
To provide answers to these questions, some observers are calling on the organizers of the demonstrations to observe a truce.
“The living forces must change their strategy. It is only in Ratoma, here, that people go out and at each demonstration we record cases of death”, regrets a mother who received a tear gas canister on May 18, last at her home.
Added to this is the satisfaction of the two prerequisites out of seven set by the actors of the living forces before the start of any negotiation.
“If on the eve of the demonstration, justice lifted the judicial control once morest certain political actors and before that, the Foniké Mengué were released, it is because the Forces vives must leave the street to join the dialogue table”, considers a citizen.
However, the observation reveals that there is an aspect that we do not talk regarding enough, it is the fact that certain places not concerned by the demonstrations are affected by the repression.
If even when the demonstrations take place on the motorway, there are repercussions on the axis, it is better to authorize and supervise these demonstrations than to be part of a balance of power which does not benefit either the leaders even less the opponents.
When the army interferes in the maintenance of order as is currently the case, it sends back a bad image of the country internationally. And it is the transition that takes a hit unless we are in a transition that has “cut the umbilical cord” with the international community.
Faced with the military, people will no longer go out and the country will operate to the rhythm of a ghost town day imposed by the requisition of the army. As if to say that instead of calling on citizens to confront the red berets in the streets of the capital, they should rather be invited to stay at home.
When the economy stops even for 30 minutes, the State loses image, money and loses its credibility vis-à-vis foreign investors. And that’s bad for a transition that promised not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Organizing weekly ghost town days is an effective means of pressure, and it preserves souls.
