Forest Guinea shocked by Alpha Condé's political maneuvering


  1. The forest is very angry against the regime of President Alpha Condé. It is against Alpha condé's political maneuvering to regain an electoral bastion for the paliamentary elections and some political leaders who use it for their personal interests, said a number of sources from the southern part of Guinea.

    Of all the regimes that have succeeded in Guinea, this region was one of the most marginalized in terms of community development projects, with the exception of Soguipah, forest exploitation companies and other projects funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and Plan Guinea, few people were referred to the socio-economic development and youth growth of this area. The roads are almost non-existent although it played the role of the attic area in the country and the West African sub region.


    "Indeed, as a prelude to the second round of the last presidential election and in accordance with the political agreement signed between the RDR and President Alpha Conde, it was expected the return of Captain Moussa Camara if they win .In addition to the return of Dadis in Conakry, the prime minister and two posts of sovereignty ( the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and the Communications) had been assigned to the RDR in the agreement informs a source close to Alpha Condé. But after the results were announced, the head of state gave the prime minister to the Lower Guinea, according to the promise he also held for representatives of the region who supported his candidacy in the second round of presidential election on November 7, 2011. To compensate for this, Professor Alpha Condé appointed the Minister of Energy and the Environment Papa Koly kourouma, State Minister, " says Delamou François, a disappointed young man in the region.

    "However, what created the wrath of the people in Forest Guinea is the broken promise by President Alpha Conde related to the return of Captain Camara. The intellectuals of this region instead of fighting for the development of the region fight for personal interests. That situation exacerbates the anger of the people. This area where ethnic diversity is felt ...., " says Anne Marie Koumas.
    cities in Forest Guinea Gueckedou and Kissidougou voted for Jean Marc Telliano during the first round of presidential electons. Today, the inhabitants of these two towns are both disappointed with Telliano 's repeated pranks and the absence of any hope of improved living conditions for nearly a year, "she adds.

    "We do not believe any politician. People are using us but they do not contribute to the development of our region. Jean Marie Doré disappointed us, too . The volatility of his character is that you can not trust him anymore. "insists Jeanne Camara.
