Dear Editor,
Last August 2 was the fourth anniversary of the declaration of the outcome of the March 2, 2020 elections.
The article Drama behind the 2020 elections results appeared first on Stabroek News.
\t On Friday, internet and international calls were cut off across the West African nation in anticipation of the election results, according to locals and international observers in the capital, Conakry.
\t This was the third time that Conde matched-up against Diallo. Before the election, observers raised concerns that an electoral dispute could reignite ethnic tensions between Guinea's largest ethnic groups.
Stop neglecting persons with disabilities

Persons with disabilities should enjoy the same rights and opportunities that other members of society do enjoy.
The convention makes provision to guarantee the enjoyment of human rights by persons with disabilities by guaranteeing their dignity and preventing them from discrimination.
One of the people covered was a person with disability who, in addition to difficulty of meeting the requirements of wearing a mask and frequent washing of hands, had to struggle to travel to their place of \"work\" and back in time before the curfew.
It is important that we move from the token conversation of assessing whether persons with disabilities access five percent of procurement opportunities for goods and services.
It requires a change of attitude, true commitment and focus on reasonable accommodation in all facets of life so that persons with disabilities cane enjoy the same rights and opportunities that other members of society do get currently.

With the authorities barring international observers at the last minute by invoking Covid-19 and a run-up to the polls marred by intensified violence and opposition repression, a serious question mark hangs over the credibility of Burundi's Wednesday elections.
The elections saw Évariste Ndayishimiye standing for the ruling Conseil national pour la défense de la démocratie - Forces pour la défense de la démocratie (CNDD-FDD) and Agathon Rwasa for the main opposition party Congrès national pour la liberté (CNL).
The East African Community was set to deploy a team to Burundi to monitor the presidential, legislative and municipal elections that would in particular determine a successor to the 15-year incumbent, Pierre Nkurunziza, and replace the National Assembly.
Some polling stations opened late in various localities, and authorities expelled or arrested several accredited opposition election observers.
Rwasa has declared he will not allow the ruling party to \"steal his election\" and Nkurunziza that he will not tolerate a call for violence.
The Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum (the Forum) is a coalition of 20 human rights organisations operating in the country to advance the cause of human rights.
On 22 May 2020, the Forum delivered a petition to the Minister of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage and the Commissioner-General of Police calling for investigations and decisive action on, among other violations, the abduction and torture of the Honourable Member of Parliament (MP) for Harare West constituency Joanna Mamombe, and two Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) Alliance youth leaders Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova.
The Forum notes with dismay, shock and repugnance the mention of three of our members by Minister Kazembe Kazembe, in his press statement on 4 June 2020.
We note earlier statements by senior government and ruling party officials, that pre-emptively characterised the abductions as fake, and as having all the hallmarks of “other fake abductions”.
We note, for instance, that the Minister’s statement fails to address the critical question of the conflicting statements issued by the police in the first two days of the abductions, including the confirmation by Police Spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi of the arrest of the trio.
