Summary: Capt. Moussa Dadis Camara, head of the junta controling Guinea, has decided to allow his second in commmand, Gen. Sekouba Konate, to push Guinea towards cvilian rule as Camara recovers from an assassionation attempt. Guinea's security minister, Cmdr. Claude Pivi said Saturday that the military would fully support Konate as he took control, potentially ending the year long strife between the junta and the civilians of Guinea. Camara is recovering in Burkina Faso, and is waiting to be tried by the ICC for perious attacks on civilian protests. On Friday, Camara signed an agreement to volentary exile, allowing his country to hold elections in six months. Blaise Compaore, the president of Burkina Faso is being hailed as a new hope for the people of Guinea. The multiparty eletions are to be held in June, but no members of the junta or anyone involed in military service are allowed to activly participate or run. Earlier on Friday however, some of Camara's die hard followers urged Konate to allow Camara to return to Conakry.

__Opinion:__ I thought this was a great article. They were both written well and went into good detail. I liked the NY Times article more however, because it gave a lot of back ftory and told how Camar came to power. The titles were very different though, which was suprising to me. The NY Times article gave a very positive outlook, saying that people support Konate, but the BBC article said that Camara had been exiled in the title, giving it a very negative sense. Both articles had who.what,where,when and why, which made it easy to read. Plus, both articles were a managable length and wrote in depth about the situation.
