With our special correspondent in Conakry, Charlotte Idrac
Since around 10 a.m., Moussa Dadis Camara has been answering questions put to him in court. “ Were you informed of the organization of the demonstration of September 28, 2009 ? asks the president of the court. “ Yes “, answers Moussa Dadis Camara, who claims to have called one of the leaders of the opposition, Sidya Touré, at one o’clock in the morning, September 28, 2009, to ask him to postpone the meeting: “ He said it was not possible. The line cut and I resumed my sleep “replies the former head of the junta.
Next, “ when were you informed of the event ? “, continues the president of the court. ” I was woken around 10 a.m. to be told the protest is taking place “, answers Moussa Dadis Camara. “ I wanted to go to the stadium, but the soldiers, including Toumba, dissuaded me. “. The former president of the transition therefore reaffirms thatAboubacar Sidiki Diakité, alias Toumba, his former aide-de-camp, went to the stadium, as well as Colonel Tiégboro Camara, former head of the special services. ” But I didn’t order anyone to go “, assures Moussa Dadis Camara to the prosecutor, who took over the interrogation in a very calm voice.
” He did not changed »
In a more sparse courtroom than on Monday, the president of the court intervened several times to ask Moussa Dadis Camara to simply answer questions. “ Thirteen years later, he has not changed “says an observer in the court. She remembers the long speeches of Moussa Dadis Camara on national television when he was in power, what was called in Guinea at the time “ the Dadis show ».
