The former bodyguard, Moussa Dadis Camara has found his old reflexes. Marcel Guilavogui, after having developed his version of the facts at length at the beginning of the week, walled himself in silence on Wednesday. While the prosecutor questioned him about mass graves, torture, looting, Marcel Guilavogui says he knows nothing.

I did not meddle in the affairs of September 28," he exclaims, without really convincing the court. The prosecutor is beginning to see signs of frustration. "You know, Mr. Marcel, you have made an examination of conscience, you have decided to tell the truth to the people. You are at the beginning, you are in the middle, you are at the end of the regime of the National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD), you know it, he asserts.We think that you can give us some fairly plausible explanations to move the debate forward.

Marcel Guilavogui kicks in touch. The floor was given from noon to the lawyers of the civil parties at the criminal court of Dixinn, relocated to the site of the Court of Appeal of Conakry. Then will come the turn of the defense counsels and in particular those of Moussa Dadis Camara, the most anticipated moment of this week of hearing. The former head of state has been implicated several times by Marcel Guilavogui, whom he accuses of having planned and ordered the massacre.
