Those who lost loved ones or carry scars on the tragic day wouldn t have missed this day despite concerns over the financing of the court proceeding, and hypothetical compensations.
On February 14 at the Dixinn Criminal Court trying the stadium massacre in Guinea’s capital Conakry, the hearing of plaintiffs began. The first tragic accounts of victims, after five months of hearing the accused, are lending weight to the gravity of this case.
Under questioning since October 19, Aboubacar Sidiki Diakité or "Toumba", a former aide-de-camp to Guinean junta leader Moussa Dadis Camara, has given his version of the facts about the 2009 stadium massacre in the capital Conakry. He has suggested Dadis was the one who gave the orders, and has sown discord in the ranks of the defence.
