Moussa Dadis Camara should be held responsible for the 157 deaths in the September Massacre at the Conakry Sports Stadium. The Human Rights Watch says that these killings were to silence any opposition to the military rule. The authors say that Guinea's Presidential Guard kept firing into the crowd until all bullets were spent. Camara, says that he blames this massacre for out-of-control elements in the military. As Al Jazeera reports, "it is reasonable to now conclude that these actions are crimes against humanity." "The commission considers there are sufficient grounds for presuming direct criminal responsibility by President Moussa Dadis Camara."Camara is currently recovering at a hospital in Morocco, after being shot in the head by an aide on December 3. (AJ) The Junta says that only 57 people were dead, mostly trampled, but not shot. The military government has denied responsibility for the massacre, saying it was the actions of a small number of rogue military personnel.But the UN commission said the killings and rape were "systematic" and "organised" and it called on the International Criminal Court to impose sanctions against the "main perpetrators" (AJ) The HRW says that between 150-200 dead and 1400-1500 injured people during the September Massacre. The military took over in Guinea after the death of long-time leader Lansana Conte last December, but their rule has been characterised by instability and violent crackdowns on dissent. (BBC) Sources- BBC News- [] Al Jazeera- [] Similar- Both articles have pictures and are of about the same length. Difference-BBC talks more about the government-part of this massacre and Al Jazeera talks more toward the crimes committed during the massacre. Opinion- I agree that Camara must be tried because he is somehow and way directly or indirectly linked to the massacre. And also, he is the leader of the military junta and he has command over all parts of government and military, so he should be tried anyways.
