Yes dear grandfather, I remember as if it were yesterday, in 2020, when the whole world spoke to the “democrats”, to our religious people against the dismissal of President IBK. I remember when we begged for the M5-RFP. When Good-Luck Jonathan took up residence in Mali for talks, negotiations and agreements. Yes when the world spoke to us.
Yes grandfather, I remember. On Thursday July 23, 2020, one month before the coup d’état, five heads of state traveled to speak to Malians. To our “democrats” and our religious politicians. When we begged them to renounce the impeachment of President IBK. I remember when the African Union came and when the United Nations was dissuading.
As if it was yesterday! Year boooo! “I would rather die a martyr than die a traitor,” when people simply said to abandon the impeachment project. Yes grandfather, I remember like it was yesterday. When we put up barricades. When we burned tires in Badalabougou. When we created a State within another State.
I remember as if it were yesterday, when the shopkeepers turned off their lamps and unplugged their electronic devices, because yes, there was at least electricity, to go to the boulevard. I remember when unemployment, insecurity, favoritism and nepotism were orchestrated as slogans to bring down IBK and see today. Alas!
Yes, grandfather, I remember as if it were yesterday when we manipulated against IBK when deep down, it was his Prime Minister for the head. I remember dear grandfather, and I hope that one day, our people will be entitled to the truth, and the whole truth, about August 18. We hope that one day, light will be shed on the real actors and their motive. Insh’Allah!
Yes, I remember dear grandfather when I saw some who fought Moussa for democracy, the same people fighting IBK for dictatorship. By act and inertia. Alas! How sad! Dear grandfather, I am sending you my 277th letter to inform you that thus ends the 10 points 17 measures of the M-5RFP and flies away the Three organs, three generals. RIP M5-RFP.
I am sorry to tell you that I only have compassion for those whose struggle was true and sincere and who opposed the dismissal of President IBK. Sin is even when it is through ignorance or bad will. We just had to ask ourselves the question: “If Democracy has been destroyed, what are we building? “. Nothing but dictatorship. See you next Tuesday. Insh’Allah!
