Messages from Guinea Supporting Democracy

As an Alliance Guinea election monitoring volunteer, I have been reviewing SMS messages that Guineans have been sending us about the presidential campaign. One thing that strikes me over and over is that many Guineans remain resolved to support democracy and peace. Of course there are problems, but most news sources ONLY report bad news. That's not the full story.

To give some balance to the purely negative news, here are a couple messages that arrived today in our Ushahidi crowsourcing platform:
JE SOUHAITE TOUJOUR LA PAIX EN GUINÉE,LA RECONSILIATION,MERCI.

Nous nous voulon un ?lection paisible qui se passera sans heine
