“Uncontrollable elements”

Two good updates on the killings of protesters in Guinea are here(Ethan Zuckerman) and here (Texas in Africa).

An excerpt from an editorial in Liberia’s Daily Observer:

After the killings in the Stadium, [Moussa “Dadis” Camara] told the Radio France that those who committed the atrocities were “uncontrollable elements” in the army. If he cannot control his army boys, how can he control a country? He must go!

Of course it’s more likely Camara ordered the killings, or at least condoned them.
