Guinée : le prix d'une stabilité à court terme

In: La politique africaine, Heft 94, S. 128-148

Abstract

In December 2003, President Conté was re-elected through an electoral process that was boycotted by the opposition. The international community hardly reacted to the regime's manipulations, judging that the regime in place was a useful rampart against regional instability. Nonetheless, the "longevity" of Conté's regime has a cost: economic demise and the rise of social tensions. If, in the very short term, stability is preserved in Guinea, the country could be affected by unprecedented violence in the medium term. (Polit afr/DÜI)
