IN VISIT TO GUINEA, UN ENVOY WORKS FOR CALM AND DIALOGUE AHEAD OF ELECTIONS
New York, Apr 18 2013 6:00PM
The United Nations envoy for West Africa met today with a range of
Guinean stakeholders to explore ways to resume inclusive political
dialogue in the interest of the peaceful preparation and conduct of
upcoming legislative elections.

Said Djinnit, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for West
Africa, also <"http://unowa.unmissions.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=cpWbopNJbjs%3d&tabid=765&mid=1796">appealed
to those who planned to participants in demonstrations today to ensure
that any protests take place in a peaceful manner and in accordance
with the law, and called on all parties in the country to act with
restraint.

In March, protests in the West African nation related to the polls led
to several deaths and hundreds of injuries. Both Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon and the UN human rights office appealed for calm amid the
violence and urged political actors in Guinea to pursue dialogue to
create conditions for peaceful elections.

Mr. Djinnit, who heads the Dakar-based UN Office for West Africa
(UNOWA), spent the past three days in Conakry, where he is supported
by a team of UN experts. He is scheduled to return to the country
early next week to continue his consultations.

The visit follows his appointment by Mr. Ban as facilitator for the UN
as part of the college of facilitators established to help bring about
inclusive political dialogue in Guinea.

Established in 2002, UNOWA is a political mission charged with
enhancing the contributions of the UN towards the achievement of peace
and security in West Africa, an important aspect of which is
preventive diplomacy.

The Office has been involved in intensive diplomatic efforts in Guinea
since a 2008 coup when Captain Moussa Dadis Camara seized power
following the death of long-time president Lansana Conté.

It encouraged a return to constitutional rule via democratic elections
held in 2010, which resulted in the election of Alpha Condé as
President. A political impasse has blocked the holding of subsequent
legislative elections, however.
