Guinean diaspora to meet junta in Conakry


Paris, France - The Coordination of the Guinean Associations of France (CAGF) will February, send a delegation to Conakry to meet the military junta which took over 23 December after the death of President Lansana Conté, a representative of the Guineans living in France, Cissé Campell told PANA Monday."We've just decided to send, around 15 February, a seven-people delegation to Conakry, to meet Head of State Moussa Dadis Camara and Prime Minister Kabinet Komara. Because this time, we wish to bring our contribution to the process in our country," said Campell, president of CAGF, a grouping of about 150 Guinean associations.





Over 100 Guineans last weekend met in Paris to appraise the political situation created by the take over of the National Council of Democracy and Development (CNDD)."The participants globally welcomed the army's takeover. We must even recognise that this coup did not come as a surprise. No organised force could aspire to power after the death of Lansana Conté," said the president of CAGF.The head of the military junta has invited the political parties and the civil society to support the transition which will end by the holding of general free and democratic elections."As it's our country, we want to participate actively in its future. We put our expertise at the disposal of the junta. We'll go and meet the soldiers with a memorandum that will specify the position of the diaspora about each of the issues to be discussed," Campell said.
