Serious faces and tight faces,
the victims of September 28, 2009
remember the ordeal they experienced.
“
A black Monday, a bloody Monday for me, a Monday of humiliation, a Monday of tears.
Eleven years of insults, eleven years of humiliation because the government of Alpha Condé insulted us for eleven years.
These are people who humiliated us for eleven years.
It's hard for me to remember what I experienced on September 28, because today I'm trying to forget what happened.
The government of Professor Alpha Condé insulted us for eleven years,
”confided Ms. Cissé, a victim.
Gathered at the headquarters of the victims' association, this Monday morning, this mother, with tears in her eyes, explains: "
The 110 women who have been raped, abused and until now,
justice has not been done
, we promises us without doing it.
I ask national and international opinion to give us the chance so that this year, justice is done.
"
For the Guinean Organization for the Defense of Human Rights (OGDH), it is simply sad, as Tierno Diallo, its president, confides: "
Eleven years after the massacres of September 28, we had hoped that he there would have been a trial.
We go from delaying maneuver to delaying maneuver.
"
The commemorations will continue with prayers and blessings for the rest of the souls of the victims while hoping that the trial will be held before the end of the year.
