The regime of Captain Dadis Moussa Camara has never been kind to critical journalists, but since the events of 28 September, the regime is desperate, and it has increased the attacks against those he believes to be co-responsible for its misfortunes.So much so, that Mr. Amadou Diallo and Mr. Mouctar Balde, respectively correspondents of the BBC and RFI in Guinea have recently left the country and have sought refuge in neighbouring Senegal.
Another journalist, Mr. Talibé Barry of the weekly "L'Independent", has received according to several Guinean websites, a summoning to appear for today Wednesday at the Gendarmerie Nationale. One of his latest articles denounced the situation of numerous officers detained arbitrarily since the takeover of the Captain Dadis' CNDD, and whose families have no news about.
These officers were close to former President Conte, and are considered dangerous by the new regime.
If the regime of the incredible Captain continues, more abuses against the free press can be expected, because he does not tolerate but journalists who flatter him, even if it means buying their conscience with the millions taken from the state budget.
