European Parliament resolution on Guinea 
B6‑0062/07

The European Parliament,

Having regard to its preceding resolutions about the situation in Guinea;

   A.Whereas since 10 January 2007, Guinea has seen a wave of peaceful demonstrations; whereas Guinea's principal trade unions, supported by the opposition parties, called for a general strike to protest about the fall in purchasing power and the interference by the Head of State in judicial matters;
   B.Considering that violent repression by the special forces of the army, in particular "the Mobile Company of Intervention and Safety" and the "Autonomous battalion of Presidential Safety" commanded by Ousmane Conté, son of the president, caused 59 victims (including 44 in Conakry on Monday 22 January alone) and more than 150 have been wounded;
   C.Considering that the strikes of February and June 2006 had already each claimed ten victims;
   D.Whereas the Guinean security forces have violated the victims' human rights and acted in breach of international standards governing the actions of such forces;
   E.Whereas there is a serious risk that these people who have been arrested could be tortured and ill-treated;
   F.Whereas domestic instability could easily spill over, ending tenuous progress towards the consolidation of peace in Liberia and Sierra Leone, which both experienced devastating civil wars in the 1990s;
   G.Considering that President Conté has committed himself to giving up most of his prerogatives in favour of a Prime Minister of consensus directing a government of national unity;
   H.Considering the risks of a military coup d'état;
   I.Considering that, according to the World Bank, a Guinean lives with the equivalent of 1 $ per day, and that per capita income has not stopped falling since 1995;
   J.Considering that Guinea is regarded as one of the most corrupt countries in Africa;
   1Expresses its concern at the excessive use of force by the military and the police who, since the January 2007 demonstrations began, have repeatedly fired live bullets at unarmed demonstrators demanding the departure of Lansana Conté, the Head of State who has been running the country since 1984;
   2Calls on the Guinean authorities to put an immediate stop to the killings and calls for a democratic transition towards a system corresponding to the aspirations of the Guinean people;
   3Appeals to the Guinean authorities to issue strict orders to the security forces to ensure that the fundamental rights of all those who have been arrested are respected;
   4Calls for an independent enquiry, led by the African Union, to be set up to shed light on these events and bring the perpetrators to justice;
   5Stresses the EU and UN former Secretary-General Kofi Annan's appeal to all social and political circles in the country to hold an all-inclusive political dialogue in order to meet the challenges facing the country and to bring about national reconciliation;
   6Strongly urges the Government to extend a full amnesty for the members of the political opposition and to do so without delay;
   7Asks the European Commission to consider the political dialogue envisaged by Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement if the executive power would not hold its promises;
   8Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the governments of the Member States, the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the African Union;
