Guinea: « Independence cannot live without freedom » (Cellou Dalein Diallo)

On the 68th anniversary of Guinea's independence, Cellou Dalein Diallo urges citizens to view national history with clarity. He emphasizes that independence from October 2, 1958, should be more than ceremonies; it is a political and moral promise of a people in control of their destiny, respecting every citizen's dignity. He laments that oppression continues despite changes in leadership, and calls for collective responsibility to protect sovereignty, rights, and freedoms by strengthening institutions and promoting pluralism.
