Nouvelle condamnation du Coup d'Etat du Général limogé par les Etats-Unis, la deuxième en une semaine

En moins de deux semaines, le Département d'Etat américain a condamné le Coup d'Etat du Général limogé deux fois. Le Porte parole, Gordon K. Duguid, dans un communiqué paru hier, réitère la position de son administration et rappelle que "Les États-Unis appuient le Conseil de Paix et de Sécurité (CPS) de l'Union Africaine et condamnent le Coup d'Etat ainsi que toutes les mesures prises par la Junte militaire...".




Lors de ce communiqué, les Etats Unis associent les deux cas de la Mauritanie et de la Guinée Conakry. Tous deux, le Capitaine Camara et le Général Aziz, ont usurpé le choix du peuple. Tous deux sont en train de faire ré-entrer l'Afrique dans le cercle vicieux des coups et contre-coups d'Etat.

African Union Actions Regarding Mauritania and Guinea

WASHINGTON, December 30, 2008/African Press Organization (APO)/ —
US Department of State Press Statement Gordon K. Duguid, Acting Deputy Spokesman :

The United States welcomes the firm and principled position taken by the African Union’s Peace and Security Council. We support the strong leadership shown by the African Union in addressing the crisis in Mauritania created by the coup d’etat of August 6, 2008.

The United States joins with the Africa Union’s Peace and Security Council in condemning the coup d’etat and subsequent measures taken by the military junta and reaffirms the “legitimacy of the constitutional order represented by the democratically elected institutions from the legislative and presidential elections respectively held in November 2006 and March 2007.”

We also support the African Union’s decision to suspend the membership of Guinea. The United States reiterates its call for an immediate return to civilian government and conducting free and fair elections as soon as possible.

We urge both military juntas to abandon their efforts to undermine constitutional rule. Such actions will be rejected by the international community and can only lead to greater political isolation.
