Once the guarantor of stability and the return to constitutional order in Guinea, the leaders of the junta who swore before God and before men ended up walking on their promises. They are now dedicating themselves. This is the case of the head of the junta seems to say that his promise is not a mountain to move.
Thus, after the members and relatives of the National Transition Council who have just made a show in the deep country with a thirty-year-old constitution, certain members of the government, it is around the members of the CNRD to throw themselves into the battle. Thus, General Amara Camara was in the forest region on Saturday. he presented himself as a true leader of a political party. He is from my presidential movement and the political leaders, from the opposition.
In a violent diatribe, he led a meeting which mobilized hundreds of people where he violently criticized the political leaders now in the opposition, since he is from the presidency, who according to him do not have a social program for Guinea. We should not be in the place of political leaders who ask the head of the junta to respect his commitments to Guineans.
The icing on the cake, RFI, the great world radio will also be tomorrow Monday, November 18 at the Franco-Guinean cultural center to talk about Guinea, three years after the coup d’état of September 5, 2021. To officially talk about the successes, advances and failures of the transition.
A platform undoubtedly for the leaders of the junta to legitimize the head of the junta, to magnify him so that he is a candidate in the elections.
Time remains the best Judge, they say, as this brave Lady Hannah Arendt teaches us: “This constant lie is not intended to make the people believe a lie, but to ensure that no one believes it anymore. nothing more. A people who can no longer distinguish truth from lies cannot distinguish good from evil. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, unknowingly and unwittingly, completely subject to the rule of lies. With such people, you can do whatever you want. »

What role does General Amara Camara play in Guinea’s political instability and junta dynamics?
Interview between Time.news Editor and Political Expert on Guinea’s Junta Dynamics
Time.news Editor (TNE): Thank you for joining us today to discuss the evolving political landscape in Guinea. It seems that the junta, initially seen as a stabilizing force, is now struggling to keep its promises. Can you provide some context on how we got here?
Political Expert (PE): Absolutely. The junta had positioned itself as a guarantor of stability following years of political turmoil in Guinea. They made significant promises about transitioning back to a constitutional order, which resonated with many citizens looking for change. However, as time has passed, it appears that many of those promises have not only gone unfulfilled but have also been abandoned.
TNE: That’s a troubling development. The recent activities of General Amara Camara are particularly noteworthy. Can you elaborate on his role and what his actions signify for the political situation in Guinea?
PE: General Camara’s emergence as a vocal figure in the political arena is quite striking. By positioning himself as the leader of a political movement, he is blurring the lines between military authority and political governance. His fiery rhetoric aimed at opposing political leaders shows that the junta is not only trying to consolidate power within itself but is also looking to undermine the existing opposition. It reflects an increasing aggressiveness in their stance and could indicate a shift toward a more authoritarian approach.
TNE: With Camara mobilizing supporters and criticizing opposition leaders, do you think this could lead to deeper divisions within Guinean society?
PE: Definitely. Camara’s mobilization of people through a “violent diatribe” not only intensifies political polarization but also risks igniting social unrest. By framing the existing political leaders as enemies, he creates a rallying point for his supporters, potentially leading to violent clashes. The language used by military leaders can escalate tensions and alienate other factions, including civil society groups that should ideally be part of a transitional dialogue.
TNE: It sounds like the junta is digging in rather than pursuing reconciliation. What implications could this have for international relations and aid to Guinea?
PE: The international community is closely watching these developments. If the junta continues to act in a manner that undermines democratic processes, we might see a decline in foreign aid and investments. Sanctions could also be considered if it becomes clear that the junta is not moving toward a transition of power. Countries that initially supported the junta might think twice about their diplomatic stances, which could further isolate Guinea on the international stage.
TNE: Looking ahead, is there a potential path toward stability, or has the situation become too entrenched?
PE: It’s challenging, but pathways exist. Dialogue is crucial. If the junta can engage with opposition leaders and civil society genuinely, there may be a chance to navigate toward a more stable government. However, that requires a shift in mindset from the current military leaders—an acknowledgment that military control is not a sustainable solution. The involvement of international mediators could also help facilitate a more constructive dialogue.
TNE: Thank you for shedding light on these complex issues. It’s crucial for our audience to understand the unfolding dynamics in Guinea. Any final thoughts on what citizens can do amid this turmoil?
PE: Citizens can remain engaged and organized to hold their leaders accountable. Grassroots movements play a pivotal role in pushing for democratic reforms. Education around the political process and mobilization for peaceful dialogue can be powerful tools for the population to reclaim agency over their political future.
TNE: Thank you for your insights. It’s a pivotal time for Guinea, and we’ll continue to follow the developments closely.
