>>/44937/ The situation and script resembles to the recent Mali coup, where a questionable election was followed by civilian discontent and culminated in a coup done by officers (whom appeared in the media addressing the nation and the world), claiming to reform the political system and end the corruption of the previous regime. Similarly the international reaction was the same: condemnation of the coup, demands to release the President and return to constitutional practices, and finally and most importantly: doing largely nothing. Doumbouya's speech (well, what they wrote on Al Jazeera and translated from his telly appearance) has a couple of noteworthy points. First as they pointed out the reasons of their actions, the corruption of the leading politicians and the system. Their basis of the actions is the duty they were entrusted with. They also show themselves as committed to three values: unity, patriotism, and democracy. I wonder what happened since then in Mali, if the coupists done what they promised - reshuffling the political deck and hold a new election -, or went on in a different direction, because what will happen in Guinea, it will follow similar path to Mali's, as it did up till now.
