"The deal [Rio Tinto and Chinalco combining to plunder West Africa's Guinea] also covers rail and port infrastructure and could create tens of thousands of jobs in Guinea." www.news.bbc.co.uk; 19 March 2010.

"Though Capt Camara declared himself "president of the republic" the day after the coup, he also maintained that he had no intention of clinging to power and would hold elections after a two-year transitional period. In August 2009, he announced that presidential elections would be held on 31 January 2010 and elections for parliament in March. A month later, more than 150 people died when government troops opened fire on pro-democracy demonstrators...."
"Radio and TV stations, as well as the country's largest and only daily newspaper, are state-controlled and offer little coverage of the opposition and scant criticism of the government...."
Failed or TROUNCED!
