The Guinean head of state, applauded several times, denounced a model of governance according to him “ imposed » by the West. A Western model that he considers to be a failure on the continent. “ Africa suffers from a model of governance that has been imposed on us, a model that is certainly good and effective for the West, which designed it throughout its history, but which has difficulty moving on and adapting. to our reality “, he declared before the General Assembly. “ Alas, I would like to say that the graft did not take. »

The leader of the junta also denounced the “ categorizations » in which other nations want to confine African states. “ We are neither pro, nor anti-American, nor pro, nor anti-Chinese, nor pro, nor anti-French, nor pro, nor anti-Russians.. We’re just pro-Africans, that’s all. Putting us under the thumb of this or that power is an insult to a population of more than a billion Africans, he hammered, including around 70% of young people who are completely uninhibited. Young people open to the world and determined to take control of their destiny. »

Mamadi Doumbouya then invited the international community to “ look at Africa with new eyes » and to undertake with the continent « frank cooperation in a spirit of win-win partnership ».

The international community must look at Africa with new eyes.

Exceptionally abandoning the uniform and beret for a large white boubou and a hat, he denied being “ another badasse who wants to twist the neck of democracy, another soldier who wants to impose his dictatorship ». « The putschist is not only the one who takes up arms, who overthrows a regime “, he said. “ The real putschists, the most numerous, who are not the subject of any condemnation, are also those who scheme, who use deceit, who cheat to manipulate the texts of the Constitution in order to remain in power eternally. “, he denounced.

He himself says he took action in Guinea “ to prevent our country from complete chaos ». « We have only one concern: the well-being of the people and living together, he assured. I put my uniform at the service of my people. I will be grateful if you respect these oaths. The Sahel is going through one of the most serious events in its very old history, but it has the resources necessary to face it. This is why ECOWAS, whose vocation was economic, must stop meddling in politics and favor dialogue. »

He invoked both the maturity and youth of Africa to call for a break with the old world order while defending non-alignment. “ Dad’s Africa, old Africa, it’s over “, he said. “ It’s time to take into account our rights, to give ourselves our place. But also and above all the moment to stop lecturing us, to look down on us, to stop treating us like children “, he said.
