Situation in Guinea

Nov 3rd, 2009 2:39 PM UTC
By David Cole

Since seizing power earlier this year, Dadis Camara and the rest of the military junta ruling Guinea have become increasingly repressive and violent. On September 28, a protest against the regime ended with the military killing 157 civilians and injuring a further 1,200. Because of the violence and chaos, businesses are grinding to a halt and schools have been closed. His actions are actively undermining the fragile development gains of recent years and hold no promise of a better future for Guinea.

The international community has started to respond. The Economic Community of West African States, European Union, African Union, and US have all imposed arms sanctions in response to the recent rise in violence. Although the regime has yet to step aside and agree to hold fair and open elections, these sanctions are an important first step and help isolate it.

We’ll be keeping our eyes on the situation in Guinea, and if we need to take action, you’ll hear from us straight away.

Please do let everyone know what’s going on here. I’m an English teacher and one of my students is from Guinea, so I’ve heard quite a bit from him about how hard things are there right now. There has been a lot of brutality in the streets and so on. Anything that can help will be appreciated, I’m sure.

In Bangladesh more than 3million people are blind. some blind people get education by strong willpower. But they don’t get the suitable earning opportunity here.
We need help to create job opportunity for the blind people both educated and illiterate.
From where we will get help in this regard?
