The conditions for organizing a serious and peaceful ballot, whose result can be accepted by all, are currently not in place, according to the European Union.

Brussels reaffirms its support for the OIF (International Organization of the Francophonie) and ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), which have withdrawn from the process. In response to the request of Guinean authorities, the sub-regional institution conditions the sending of observers on the inclusive nature of the ballot.

No one is forbidden to come, assures General Bouréma Condé, minister of Territorial Administration, while anxiety is growing in Conakry, following the clashes on Friday in the Alpha Yaya Diallo military camp on the outskirts of the capital, to the deployment of the army and to FNDC threats to prevent the ballot.

"Come peacefully to vote, your security is assured," said General Bouréma Condé. Guineans abroad, for their part, will only be able to do so if the country's health restrictions permit, indicates the Foreign Affairs minister.

Finally, the announcement of the postponement of work that was to cause an Internet outage this weekend had aroused the joy of internet users who, on Friday evening, were disappointed.
