In Guinea, the end of the trial for the massacre of September 28, 2009 is coming. After twenty months of hearings of the accused and pleadings at the Dixinn criminal court, prosecutor Alghassimou Diallo requested life imprisonment against the former head of the junta in 2009, Moussa Dadis Camara, and several other officials of the military regime. described by many observers as a dictatorship.
The public prosecutor asked the court that the sentence be accompanied by a thirty-year safety period and that the facts be reclassified as crimes against humanity involving murder, assassinations, torture, kidnapping and rape.
Considering that Guinea “ is a family ” and that'” no Guinean is superior to the other “, the representatives of the prosecution indicated that the former transitional president deserved such a sentence for not having ” nothing was done to ensure that this meeting was not repressed » at the Conakry stadium. “ On the contrary, he planned it “, noted Elhadj Sidiki Camara, another representative of the public prosecutor.
At least 156 people were killed by bullets, knives, machetes or bayonets, and hundreds injured in the repression of this opposition rally to demand the end of military rule and the organization of an election presidential election, according to a report by an international commission of inquiry mandated by the United Nations. The document also lists the rape of no less than 109 women during the repression.

For him, all these dignitaries of the former Guinean dictator’s regime must be sentenced to life imprisonment.
On the other hand, the public prosecutor requested a strict sentence of fifteen years against the soldiers Ibrahima Camara and Paul Mansa Guilavogui. He requested the same sentence for Aboubakar Diakité known as Toumba, aide-de-camp of Moussa Dadis Camara in 2009 who became the darling of social networks in the sub-region. His repartee and his line of defense sometimes make many people who follow the trial broadcast on television hilarious.

For them, the former aide-de-camp went to the stadium to participate in the repression during this unforgettable day for many victims’ families.
