Guineans could come out better only if they face up to, and slay ogre of ethnicity

Since independence in 1958, Guinea has been run politically by the Mandingo, close cousins Susu, and the Fulani, lording it over the other 24 ethnic groups

While Ecowas this past week imposed sanctions on Guinea and ordered the military junta to return the country to civilian rule in six months, a civil society organisation sees the ouster of Alpha Conde in a coup as a solution to the deep-seated problem of ethnicism.
