"Today, under the new Constitution, the presidential term is six years, renewable only once. I have already explained why this Fourth Republic was necessary and why I decided to run in last October's presidential election. Since the two main opposition leaders were the very same ones who left Guinea in the disastrous state I found it in in 2010, it was inconceivable to me that it could fall into their hands again. As for democracy, it is a very long struggle, here as elsewhere. But it is progressing, and as you can see, the country is calm."
