The recent incidents in New York during the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly have sparked reactions in Guinea. Ousmane Dady Camara, coordinator of the Forum Ensemble pour la Guinée (EPG), has denounced the mobilization, saying it aimed to tarnish the country's image while the Guinean delegation was about to take the stage at the UN. Camara expressed relief that despite the chaos, President Mamadi Doumbouya delivered a unifying speech.

According to Camara, the mobilization was orchestrated by individuals with malicious intentions, who sought to disrupt the country's image at a critical moment. He attributed the incident to supporters of former President Alpha Condé and opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo, while rejecting any communal or ethnic interpretation of the event. Camara emphasized that the incident was not representative of the Guinean people.

Ousmane Dady Camara defended President Mamadi Doumbouya's policies, citing the successful elections and the Guinean people's newfound focus on development over politics. He credited the president with uniting the country and prioritizing development. Camara expressed confidence that the Guinean people have moved beyond petty politics and are now focused on building their nation.

The EPG coordinator highlighted the improvements in security and social conditions since President Doumbouya took power. He called on the Guinean population to maintain their focus on economic development, emancipation, and food self-sufficiency. Camara urged citizens to continue supporting the president's vision for the country's growth.

Camara reiterated that the incident in New York was an isolated event and did not reflect the will of the Guinean people. He expressed satisfaction that the mobilization had failed to achieve its objectives, thanks to the Guinean people's understanding of the situation. The EPG coordinator praised President Doumbouya for his leadership.

The incident in New York has sparked a renewed debate on the role of politics in Guinea. Camara's comments reflect a broader narrative that the country is moving beyond petty politics and focusing on development. The government has been working to improve living conditions and promote economic growth.

Ousmane Dady Camara's statements have been seen as a show of support for President Doumbouya's administration. The EPG coordinator's criticism of the New York incidents and his backing of the president's policies have been welcomed by some as a sign of stability and unity in the country. The situation remains a topic of discussion among Guineans and international observers.
