We announced it to you yesterday. At the end of the evening of this Friday, June 23, Azali Assoumani, President of the Union of the Comoros and President-in-Office of the African Union began his 24-hour state visit to Guinea. The Air France cuckoo which transported him to Cona-cris landed at 6:20 p.m. on the tarmac of the Gbessia aero-hangar. Under surveillance. At the bottom of the footbridge, under a clear sky, the President of the Comoros was welcomed at 6:35 p.m. by the President of the Transition, Colonel Mamadi Doum-bouillant in a disheveled purple suit with a Mao collar.
After the salute to the colors followed by the performance of the national anthems of the two bleds, the two leaders of the Tas make a lap of honor to the officials, invited to the welcoming ceremony. Colonel Doum-bouillant and his distinguished guest (registered) then shake hands with a handful of Comoros nationals living in Guinea.
The two Presidents then headed to the honor uh horror lounge of the aero-hangar. There, they had a tete-a-tete outside the cameras, except those of the DCI (Communication and Information Department) of the Presidency of the Republic. At the end of the camera, the host will have declined the purpose of his visit, far from the private media.
The technical hiccups waited for this moment to infect the technology deployed by the DCI which broadcast the ceremony live on the Presidency’s Facebook page. The host’s speech remained inaudible, the private press kept away from the host, the journalists turned their microphones towards the government’s spokesperson minister, Ousmane Gawa Diallo, even if he did not take part in the Azali-Doum-bouillant talk: “The President of the Comoros also presides over the destiny of the African Union. He comes to his Guinean counterpart, to share with him his vision of the African Union, what he intends to do during his mandate and to collect the expectations of the Guinean President in relation to this continental organization. This is the official meaning of the visit of the current President of the African Union to Guinea. » What will Guinea and the Comoros agree on… The Minister spokesperson cuts short: « They will share their point of view on the conduct of the African Union, on the prospects that emerge and take into account expectations of each other as to the activities to be carried out during his term of office” at the head of the AU. The Minister welcomes the diplomatic broom in the country of Mamadi Doum-boiling.
The host of the President of the Guinean transition has been at the head of the AU since last February. He succeeded the Senegalese-ugly Macky Sall, becoming the first Comorian to take over the rotating presidency of the AU. With his Guinean counterpart, whispers a kicker from the corridors of the Palace Mohammed V of Guinea, the President of the Comoros could evoke “the establishment of the ZLECAF (African Continental Free Trade Area, which came into force two years ago) . 2023 has been designated the “Year of the AfCFTA: Accelerating the Implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area” by the African Union.
As we went online, the agenda for Azali Assoumani’s stay in Conakry was still a mystery to the press.
