Promoting writing to allow a community to transcribe or transmit knowledge, its societal values, is a very good idea, an ingenious idea that all Guineans respect. But, from there to being part of a logic of falsification of history, of psychological manipulation by attacking other communities, constitutes a threat against peace and social tranquility.
Set up associations to demand indigenous rights from other communities, you say? This is the height of stupidity. If you knew the significance of your words, you would not have said them. Who is more Guinean than the other here, so that he can freely grant himself the right to demand indigenous rights from others?
Let people pull themselves together in Guinea. No community is superior to the other. Whoever promotes a culture, a writing must develop a language going in the direction of strengthening the social fabric, therefore national unity, because all the communities which found themselves in a whole on part of the cradle of humanity after the partition and division of Africa between 1884 and 1885 during the Berlin Conference, are condemned to live together. The real priority today is to get our common heritage out of the rut and not to develop retrograde, warlike and apocryphal ideas which could one day endanger our living together. Would the population of Guinea have moved from the coasts towards the continental zone or the opposite?
All anthropologists know that life came from the east. Guinean communities are no exception to this rule. Indeed, the establishment of Guinean populations is the result of several waves of successive migrations caused by the great upheavals suffered by the Sudanese empires.
It is time for the Guinean authorities, particularly the Ministry of Culture, to nip in the bud this idea of ethnic supremacy in all its forms. We must bring to order all those who willingly attack other communities or who venture down this forbidden path aimed at promoting the spirit of rejection of others. To say that it is because one ethnic group borrowed from another that one ethnic group is older than another is based on nothing solid. When communities live together, even if they settle at the same time, they necessarily borrow from each other due to mixing.
In short, those who deal with cultural aspects must leave alone the people of Guinea who have suffered too much from this small-mindedness. We have a common history; let us seek to consolidate it, rather than weaken it. No ethnicity is superior to the other.
