Guineans would demonstrate against the delegation deployed by the Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS to engage the leadership of the country’s coup leaders.
Following the Authority’s Accra summit, ECOWAS The President, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Ivorian President Alhassan Ouattara, were delegated to engage the military leaders on the ECOWAS position.
But a Guinean journalist, Souleyman Diallo, told Citi News that the Guinean people question the morality of including the Ivorian president in the delegation.
He noted that people were happy to see President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as they see Ghana as the role model.
“People were happy to see President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in Conakry because he is a model.
“But they did not like the inclusion of the Ivorian President, Alhassan Quattara, and asked what lessons he was bringing from his country (Ivory Coast) and what advice he was going to give to Mamady Doumbouya.”
Indeed, the Ivorian president also brought about constitutional changes at one point to extend his term.
Meanwhile, the senior member of Parliament’s foreign affairs committee, Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwah, said ECOWAS was not responding to the precipitous concerns of the Guinean people.
He insisted that ECOWAS admit its complicity in not having prevented Alpha Condé from running for a third term.
“So far, ECOWAS has not shown through its response to the Guinean political crisis that it is willing and determined to do some soul-searching and address the triggers and fundamental issues that have brought Guinea to this point. and which threaten the sub-region. . ”
“ECOWAS continues to avoid the real problem. ECOWAS should first have admitted that it was wrong and that it did not intervene when Alpha Condé totally undermined the Guinean constitution and decided to run for a third term and it still has not assumed responsibility for this complicity.
