Guinée : L’épouse de l’ex-président Ahmed Sékou Touré s’en est allée (l’hommage de Doumbouya)
Sad news for Guinea. Hadja Andrée Touré, the wife of former president Ahmed Sékou Touré, passed away yesterday, Wednesday, July 8th, in Morocco. She was 92 years old. Born in Guinea in November 1934, she was the country's first First Lady and met the father of independence in the early 1950s before marrying him in June 1953.
She has "never denied her attachment to Guinea"
Her death yesterday, Tuesday, deeply affected the current Guinean president, Mamadi Doumbouya. In a message published on his digital channels, he paid tribute to "a woman of courage, resilience, and loyalty to her country, a privileged witness and a discreet participant in the founding moments of Guinea's independence."
For the strongman of Conakry, the deceased "carried with dignity and constancy the weight of History and the trials it reserved for her, without ever denying her attachment to Guinea."
"A living part of our national memory has passed away," Doumbouya lamented, expressing "on behalf of the Guinean State and in his own name, his most heartfelt and fraternal condolences to his family, his loved ones, and all those whom his passing grieves."
