When he was in power in Guinea, Captain Dadis Camara had accustomed us to these thunderous and often improvised media interventions, where he could announce pell-mell government decisions and dismissals of dignitaries of the regime.
Yesterday, in front of his judges, in the context of the trial of the September 28 massacre, the former strongman of Guinea tried to repeat his method.
« Moussa Dadis Camara took all his time, relate Africa Guinea. His deposition, full of digressions, lasted for about 7 clock hours. In front of the judge, the accused spoke until he lost his voice. »
So, relate the news site Guinea 7the captain has developed a host of hypotheses to accuse (former president) Alpha Condé, (general) Sékouba Konaté and Toumba Diakité (his former aide-de-camp) of being the real actors in the events of September 28. To support his suppositions, Dadis delivered lectures, often a little twisted, comments on the site, in history, literature, law, etc. Before setting the rules of the game in court. He wants to be asked questions about the ‘complicity’ (of the supposed actors in the massacre). No more. »
What evidence?
« Are they founded or not (these accusations of Dadis)? », wonders Ledjely, another Guinean site. ” Does he have the evidence? Only the follow-up to the September 28 stadium massacre trial will help answer these questions. Frankly, the former president of the CNDD appeared in court as the victim of a plot that could have cost the lives of other major players: ‘Alpha Condé, Sékouba Konaté and Toumba Diakité had orchestrated a plot , he denounced, to kill (the opponents) Cellou Dalein, Sydia Touré, Jean-Marie Doré (…) it was after that that they sent Toumba to shoot me’. »
Following these accusations the hearing was suspended.
Trapped ?
Pour You cut it in Burkina Faso, Dadis will have a hard time getting away with it…” Obviously, the + Dadis show + has had its day entertaining and humiliating businessmen and politicians and no longer has any chance of prospering! Obviously, the captain, who wanted to pass himself off as Thomas Sankara, the hero of the Burkinabe revolution, when he confiscated power by arms and tried in vain to gain a virginity through the ballot box, the captain s felt caught in a trap from which it would be difficult, if not impossible, to extricate himself. He may, in a sort of trance, accuse former presidents Alpha Condé and General Sékouba Konaté of having fomented a plot against him, his quibbles will hardly bear fruit. Very quickly, Dadis lost the serenity that was his when he returned from his long exile in ‘ouagalais’. He has obviously been let down by his family and his cause seems already heard. »
Lesson ?
Anyway, comment The countrystill in Burkina Faso, “ while waiting for a hypothetical truth, we can already salute the strong educational content of this trial. Seeing the former head of the junta trembling, all reigning princes should know how to learn from it. Because, we are always overtaken by our own turpitudes. And this particularly applies to the current head of the ruling military junta, Mamady Doumbouya, points out the Burkinabe daily, which seems to have made the tracking of opponents and the predation of individual and collective freedoms a mode of governance. »
