after massacre, guinea sees hope

It seems that country is evolving with surprising speed into democracy.
People are cautiously optimistic.

It seemed interesting to me because it looked like the typical prototype of the third world country that has had a series of dictators.

excerpts:

Something rare has happened in a region often given to brutal autocracy: power has been peacefully transferred to a civilian, just four months after an army massacre that recalled the worst of Africa’s past.
...
Now, the swift and unexpected turn of events has surprised Guineans, who wonder warily if the new prime minister, Jean-Marie Doré, a gaunt and wily opposition leader who left the stadium bleeding, can actually deliver democracy in a country that has never truly known it.

"Things have happened so fast,” said Sydia Touré, a widely respected opposition leader.
“This is something we couldn’t have imagined two months ago,” he said. “It’s a new vision.”

... “We now know to what degree the international community is allergic to violations of human rights in general, and unpunished massacres in particular,” Mr. Doré said in an interview last week, outside a raucous but hopeful — and aboveground — meeting of former opposition parties.

Sometimes good things can happen.
I guess that's what I liked about that story.

"Trying to make something good happen."
That's a mission.
It's worth getting up in the Morning for.
