Over the questions of master Alpha Amadou DS Bah, the face of Moussa Dadis Camara closes more and more.

He sinks into silence. And then, suddenly, the storm rages behind the microphone. ” Captain, when you came to power, you made hollow speeches “Begins the lawyer, to which Moussa Dadis Camara launches annoyed: ” you are not a good lawyer, because you want to disturb ! »
” Mr. Camara, are you waiting for the question please? “, said the president of the court, trying to restore calm:” To say that a speech is hollow is neither an offensive remark, nor means practically anything. If you haven’t, you can just say “I have not done”. And we can’t say “I’m not answering anymore”, so you are not going to impose questions, it is not you who sets the rules of the game here, Mr. Camara. »
