Monday, November 13, at the Dixinn criminal court, relocated to the Conakry Court of Appeal (Kaloum), the trial of Moussa Dadis Camara and Co. resumed. The accused who were the subject of a kidnapping or escape attempt last week are all present in the box, with the exception of one, in this case Colonel Claude Pivi known as Coplan or Grand Co. As the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) system has not been particularly reinforced, everything seems normal. The attack on the Central House of Coronthia and the evaded questions it raises are, without a doubt, tormenting the brains of all those in the room and weighing down the ambient air already full of humidity.

As the months pass, we approach the fateful moments of the trial, the time for the truth. After the accused and the victims, it is now up to the witnesses to tell their truth, to let their inner convictions flow. What did they see? What did they hear? Their role, which requires moral honesty from them, is to help judges distinguish the seed from the chaff, the true from the false. Their words are therefore decisive in the decision that will emerge from the trial.

Former Minister Tibou Kamara was the first called to the stand. Dressed in an impeccably tailored blue suit in the style of Pierre Cardin or Yves Saint-Laurent, always with flair. Dashing, he did not go there with his back to exonerate Captain Moussa Dadis Camara. He affirmed, without batting an eyelid, that the President of the Transition of 2008 would not have ordered anyone to go on September 28, 2009, to the eponymous Stadium to commit the massacre for which we are seeking to identify the culprits. Tibou Kamara’s statements are all the more important as well-known political leaders affirmed, during their testimony, that it was with his telephone that Captain Dadis called the President of the UFR, Sidya Touré, to beg him to obtain from his opposition comrades, the day before, the postponement of the demonstration. The hearing of Tibou Kamara continued on Tuesday, by the civil party’s lawyers. We are expecting around forty witnesses. Whoever lives will hear!
