'Nothing more to be done' for injured Junta leader, says govt source

AFP - Guinea's interim leader General Sekouba Konate visited the country's injured junta chief in Morocco Tuesday and afterwards said Captain Moussa Dadis Camara did not appear aware of his surroundings, a junta source told AFP.
Konate visited Camara for the first time in the Moroccan hospital where he is being treated after being shot in the head by his aide de camp on December 3.
The interim leader made no official comment after meeting Camara but according to a source close to the junta, Konate said: "Dadis was not aware of what was happening around him."
Konate also said of the wounded junta leader there was "nothing more to be done for him," according to the junta source, who requested anonymity.
Camara's condition since being shot has been a source of much speculation.
Guinea's official media has reported that Camara is recovering and will return to the west African country as soon as possible. Camara himself has not made any public statements or appearances since the attack.
Konate, also defence minister, had several times postponed the visit to Morocco, where Camara was flown for medical care after being shot by his aide de camp, Lieutenant Aboubacar Sidiki Diakite, who is now in hiding.
Konate took charge of Guinea after Camara was wounded, which was more than two months after junta soldiers killed scores of opposition protesters in a massacre that has drawn fierce international criticism.
Human rights groups and the United Nations put the death toll at the Conakry stadium opposition rally at more than 150, with hundreds injured, including women who were raped by troops.
Guinea has been suspended from the regional Economic Community of West African States and has lost development aid from the European Union.
Camara came to power on December 23 last year within hours of the death of longtime strongman Lansana Conte, a former general who had ruled the country since 1984.

Need to know
Military rule in Guinea, yea in Africa should not be tolerated any longer in any shape or form. The role of the military is to protect the nation and its people and not to rule nor lead them. The junta should step down and give democracy a chance. Power to the people of Guinea and down with the military junta.
about Guinea Conakry
I'm a guinean, i would simply like you journalist from France 24 to change your report technic on Guinea, all you said semmme not to encourage peace and unity in My contry.
so, save my country trough your broacasting.
What is Sekouba's beef?
Is Guinea's interim leader General Sekouba Konate rushing to succeed his boss, Capt Camara, after a little taste of power? What does he mean by: "nothing more could be done for him (ie Capt Camara)?" Has Sekouba fallen into the pockets of Blaise Campoire of Bukina Faso, and the man now running for the office of Guinean Prime Minister, ops, French foreign minister, Konterche. Sekouba is gradually emerging as a stooge and the leadership of the junta should side-step him. Capt Camara could be taken to Cuba, and should not be left to rot in Rabat. After all, he is the Head of State. The CDNN should marshal all resources to save Capt Dadis Camara. He is the guy that would have taken Guinea to where Ghana is now. Guinea and Ecowas, arise in defense of one of our own. The angry Frenchman, Konterche has blood on his hands. He was and is the brain behind Dadis attempted murder. Guinea, the junior officers and men of the Armed Forces should glen from Ghana's Rawlings and clean the mess created by the Generals. Send Dadis Camara to Cuba, where better medical care will await him. Send Capt Camara to Cuba for recovery. Sekouba should be kicked out for making a rush to judgment. The disgraced cowardice of a soldier, Aboubacar Sidiki Diakite should be flushed out of his fox-hole at the french embassy in Conakary. Judgment awaits him at the right time. Such a coward also wanted to have ruled Guinea. Shame on you, Diakite.
