Sport: The stage of Kaporo sold?

The 1st stage built by the Kaporokas the ground was commonly called today "the stage of Nongo". That was in 1959. Permission to occupy its location had been granted by the owner Tiani Soumah, at the request of Bountou Fodé Issiaga Camara''Cow-Boy'', elder brother of Commander Naby Camara, Alsény''Counter''Sylla, Mamadou ' '''Mao Bangoura, who helped their cadets and other Kaporokas have dessouché what was a small bush, to build a playground for the entire community.

With the first regime, the Revolution setting up PRL (Revolutionary Local Authority) there were new divisions, and''poor''stage before the territorial jurisdiction of Kaporo, found himself in the PRL of Nongo. Thus, it will take the stage name of Nongo and separate the brothers.

Both PRL have difficulty agreeing on the same space, many conflicts took place very quickly, the point lead to the prohibition on Kaporo to train on the stage of Nongo. It was therefore necessary to find a place of training. The Kaporokas threw their vested on a plot of land belonging to the family Tanoun Boundou. The latter, and Seydou Bako, were assistants for the last head of District of Kaporo, Almamy Kerfalla Soumah, in settling conflicts.

Daloh Mmah, eldest daughter and heir of Tanoun Boundou, agreed not without a strong reluctance to cede part of their plot of ancestral land to allow the construction of a playground for youth. This was the stage of Kaporo, and this site became the heritage of all Kaporokas.

But the good relations between Guinea with popular democracies such as Hungary, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Cuba, which were major providers of Scholarships to Guinea, would bear a heavy blow to Kaporokas. Our friends Cubans were allowed to build a chicken coop in the playground of Kaporokas, privileged place of encounter Youth Kaporo and surrounding villages.

Why the fate should continue to hit them? After being driven out of the first stage they had built their hands, is that history seems to repeat itself!

Some wanted to find the reason in the past between this village.

Indeed, Kaporo is the birthplace of one of the leaders of the opposition Amara Soumah (BAG, with Barry Diawandou, Karim Bangoura).

Building a house in a stadium at the entrance of a village, can not be justified objectively, that if not for punitive reasons. He was missing little spaces, and our Cuban friends, generous donors, could build their chicken elsewhere, and even create a new village in need. But this time, no one could challenge the often arbitrary choice of the Revolution, the risk to spend the rest of his life at Camp Boiro.

The truth is that there was neither fair nor prior compensation or compensation from the state.

I remember that the arrival of the military, people told us' Ah, poor Kaporokas, enjoy them now to denounce the harm that you object to you make your field. Otherwise, one day you look powerless politicians to share your plots. "

That is why Kaporokas had written to the President of the Republic, after the establishment of the Association for the Development of Kaporo (ADK) in forming that the chicken had never occurred and that the facilities had fallen into ruin.

The Kaporokas took the commitment to address the renovation of facilities, in addition to rebuilding their stadium, to organize literacy classes and tutoring, create craft units for women dyers of Kaporo and surrounding areas.

Voila eight years since the stadium was rebuilt. Young people play all matches and no longer cares for one moment having déguerpir a day.

We must constantly remind that:

1) the location claimed by the inhabitants of Kaporo had been disposed of by the family Tanoun Boundou Bangoura.

2) the first scheme, depriving them of their heritage for reasons not acknowledged, has never conducted any compensation or compensation while the chicken could have been built elsewhere.

3) the second regime had spared the stadium to cede part of its site to allow construction of the school French and installation of garage Toyota Taleb which is more operational in recent years.

4) The death in the soul, however Kaporokas were happy to slashing in the remaining portion congruent, a new playground facilities among the ruins.

Clearly, the state has given nothing in return nor the original owner (the family Boundouya) nor the Kaporokas which is now the common heritage.

The site in question had been neither paid nor sold. He had been snatched by the 1st regime. So, no individual can claim to have purchased it and no one can have the right to sell, not even the state.

Without knowing how to turn saint, seeking kaporokas everyone: young, but especially elders, to tell Mr. Sadaka and other vendors, not to deprive the youth of his playground, not to deprive thousands of young people, their children, their grandchildren, a healthy development.
