“To the political parties and their militants I renew the offer to dialogue. No obstacle is insurmountable, no divergence can resist our common commitment to respect freedom and law”, said the Head of State in a radio speech.
The clashes resulted in the deaths of two people and injury to 40 others. About 300 people were arrested in connection to the protests. The demonstration was organized by the opposition to protest on the modalities of convening the parliamentary elections on December 29.
Archbishop Vincent Coulibaly, Archbishop of Conakry and Co-President of the National Commission for Reconciliation (NCR), has appealed to the government and the opposition to dialogue “without conditions, in the name of God and on behalf of our Guinean brothers and sisters,” he said this on September 28, during the day of prayer organized in 60 different places in the Country, by the government and the NCR.
Archbishop Coulibaly also said that the NCR is at God’s and the people’s service, and urged people “to remember all the victims of Guinea in your prayers every day, so that God opens the doors of Paradise to them”.
The Archbishop of Conakry emphasized that “Guineans should live together in unity: God has endowed our Country with wealth and it is in harmony that we can enjoy it”.
