Paris, which observes the Guinean situation with concern, tried for several months to convince Alpha Condé, in power since 2010, to give up his plan to modify the Constitution in order to run for a third term. Several emissaries and diplomats have worked to make the Guinean president aware of the potential consequences of such a scenario in terms of post-election violence.
No press release from the Elysee to congratulate Condé
Emmanuel Macron himself opened up with his counterpart in early 2020. “Everyone else is doing it. Why not me, ”the French head of state retorted. These friendly “recommendations” ceased in March 2020 once the constitutional referendum was approved. Since October 24, the day of the announcement of the victory of Alpha Condé by 59.79% of the votes, Paris has been advancing with great caution, and fears that the ballot will continue in the street during the weeks or even months to come. No official statement from the Elysee Palace congratulated the Guinean head of state, in power since 2010, after the election.
The EU has reservations about the reliability of the ballot
Paris is also taking refuge behind the European Union press release of October 27, which it validated with its partners. In this text, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Joe Borrell, affirms “to take note” of the announcement of the results while expressing his “questions as to their credibility”, in particular as regards the recovery. minutes and counts by polling station.
The Dalein case
The European diplomat also expresses his desire to see all the actors involved in the electoral process be able to benefit from freedom of expression and movement. An implicit reference to the opponent and former Prime Minister Celou Dalein Diallo, president of the Union of Democratic Forces of Guinea (UFDG).
About thirty dead
Assigned to his residence in Conakry by the police on October 20, after proclaiming himself the winner of the ballot, the latter regained his freedom a week later. However, the premises of his party in the capital were ransacked. The opposition forces evoke thirty killed in the violence and several hundred arrests across the country since the announcement of the presidential results.
