While Senegal gracefully dances the dance of democracy and shines with its electoral success, Guinea is fully immersed in a crash course on “militarized democracy.”
At the heart of this Guinean-style democratic life lesson, we find the distinguished members of the government, led by the “great intellectual” Bah Oury, who have taken up residence in a military camp.
With elegant suits and comfortable offices put aside, our ministers transformed into handsome men in military uniforms have embarked on an intensive training to master the intricacies of the National Council for Recovery and Development (CNRD), the junta in power in Conakry.
While the methods of the military regime are being criticized from all sides, the idea of introducing them to civilians seems like a strange, even ludicrous choice. Let it be known: Guineans have priorities, and the solutions are certainly not found in a military camp.
It is safe to say that it is better to tackle the real problems facing the country, such as the exorbitant cost of living, persistent electricity shortages, and the genuine restoration of democracy.
In a word or four, the “immersion” of the Bah Oury government in the headquarters of the Special Forces command in Kalako, where they learned, among other things, the “process of disassembling and reassembling a firearm,” is nothing but a political farce.
