Guinea's Former President Found Guilty of Crimes Against Humanity in Landmark Verdict

After a lengthy trial, the former president of Guinea, Captain Moussa Dadis Camara, has been found guilty of crimes against humanity, including overseeing a massacre and mass rape of pro-democracy demonstrators 15 years ago. The verdict was a landmark moment that survivors and the victims' families had been awaiting for a long time.

The trial, which also involved 11 other individuals, such as the former head of the presidential guard, government ministers, and security officials, was not only significant for Guinea but also seen as a crucial test for the entire West African region. This trial set a precedent for holding military leaders accountable for their actions, and its outcome will likely have a lasting impact on future cases of a similar nature in the region.
