On Monday 50,000 people showed up to protest rumors that Junta head captain Moussa Dadis Camara would be running for president in the January election. Soldiers moved in to disperse the rally by firing tear gas and even live ammunition. A questionable total of 157 people were reported dead and another 1,200 wounded. These numbers cannot be varified because a report has been made of soldiers taking away and hiding bodies so that the numbers would not be as great. There were also reports that women were being raped in broad daylight, in the middle of the streets. There have been reports made by live witnesses that they saw women being taken away after being stripped of their clothes.
Head Guniea officials and aids to Capt. Camara are also being accused of corruption and links to drug trade. If Camara were to stand as president come next January it would go against everything the military has vowed to do to sweap away.
