The facts related below happened in 2012 in the North-east part of Guinea. A year after, the situation has not changed, save for the worst.
[..]One person was killed by military forces this week in Siguiri when, after assailants entered town shooting looting businesses, residents rioted against the prefecture and military camp because of inaction on the part of police and soldiers to provide protection. Residents are quite certain that this incident is politically-motivated and blame the Condé government. Two articles below tell the story.
This is not the first time that Siguiri has been the target of politically-motivated attacks. During the final days in the run up to the second round of the presidential election, Siguiri, as well as other towns, such as Kouroussa, were targeted by the Conde campaign for an attack.
After Condé and his RPG constructed a monstrous lie that Peuls (Fulanis) were responsible for trying to poison his supporters at a rally, Conde, Francois Fall, Jean-Marie Dore, Sekouba Konate, etc., incited Malinkés (supplemented by military soldiers dressed in civilian clothes) to attack (peulhs) residents in these towns, loot their businesses, and burn their homes and businesses.
Many residents were critically injured by machetes and one resident died from a machete lodged in his head. Why these particular towns? The RPG gauged that if their supporters attacked towns where the opponent Cellou Dalein Diallo had the most support, the residents would flee, and be unable to vote in the election.
Their calculation was right; the residents fled by the thousands and were unable to vote. A violent, cruel plot to disenfranchise the people of Guinea.[..]
