Barely back home, the thunderous Minister of Justice and Keeper of the Seals Mr. Charles Wright threw a stone into the pool of living forces. By hammering without preamble, that force will remain with the law. A thinly veiled warning addressed to the organizers of the demonstration on March 9. Unlike Prime Minister Dr. Bernard Goumou, whose call for dialogue launched in the wake of the publication of the declaration of the living forces, had been perceived under the prism of pusillanimity, the Keeper of the Seals brandished the stick. It will therefore be up to the slingers to choose between the carrot and the stick of the junta.
By revealing their intention of wanting to pound the pavement once more, under the banner of the reconstituted living forces, the opponents of the Guinean junta finally decided to face the minotaur openly.
With all the risk that entails. When we know that Theseus is not the one who wants it. But when the cup is full, we have no choice. Even if it means going to the pipe breaker, to save his skin.
It is this difficult dilemma that the living forces now face. Faced with the threats brandished by the power of Conakry, which seems to want to cut the Gordian knot. By suspending any party or civil society organization that refuses to fall into line.
Like shepherd to shepherdess, the living forces in turn split a declaration announcing a new demonstration on March 9th. Under the rule of political alliances such as ANAD and RPG-ARC-En CIEL and Allies, among others.
With the demands “an end to the judicial harassment of civil society actors and political leaders, some of whom have been arbitrarily detained without trial for many months”. And “the immediate application of the decisions of the last ECOWAS summit, requiring the Guinean authorities to organize an inclusive and credible dialogue with the living forces of the nation to define in a consensual manner the conditions for the return to order. Constitutional,” among others.
This outing of the living forces must have shaken the coconut tree of the junta. Because, the next day, the Prime Minister invited them to a meeting at the Palace of the Dove. An invitation they simply declined.
Sending the government back to providing itself better. Dr. Goumou did not disarm unduly. He will return to the charge to renew the outstretched hand of the authorities of the transition. Without this new approach producing the expected effect.
It is in this deleterious atmosphere that ECOWAS has invited itself in turn, by publishing the list of members of the government, banned from traveling. Enough to bring water to the mill of the living forces.
But it will take more to overcome the stubbornness of the Minister of Justice. Who, upon his return to the fold, following a trip to the United States, seized the sulfateuse to knock out the slingers. In a language that is not subliminal, he promises to respond blow for blow, using the right, to those who venture to demonstrate this March 9th.
It’s called ready-made Charles Wright. It will be up to the living forces to choose between the carrot and the stick of the CNRD.
