UFDG tensions mount as hadja Halimatou dalein Issues firm message: “those who are tired can leave”

As internal tensions continue to simmer within Guinea’s main opposition party, the Union of Democratic Forces of Guinea (UFDG), Hadja Halimatou Dalein Diallo delivered a pointed message during a highly anticipated general assembly held at the party’s headquarters on Saturday.
Speaking before a crowd of loyalists from the Kaloum and Matam federations, the wife of UFDG President Cellou Dalein Diallo addressed party members in Soussou, striking a tone that mixed gratitude with unwavering firmness just weeks ahead of the party’s elective congress scheduled for July 6.
“Thank you Kaloum, thank you Matam, a big thank you to all those who made the trip,” she began, expressing deep appreciation for the continued support and strong turnout at the assembly.
But her speech quickly moved into more resolute territory, as she called on UFDG supporters to remain united and loyal in the face of internal and external challenges.
“Let’s stay on the same path we took years ago,” she urged, underscoring the importance of perseverance and collective discipline.
Appealing for a dignified approach to political activism, she reminded members to steer clear of hostility and jealousy:
“Above all, don’t insult anyone and don’t envy anyone.”
In her most decisive remarks, Hadja Halimatou made clear that the party has no place for wavering loyalties, emphasizing that commitment must be genuine and free from self-interest.
“Those who are tired can leave peacefully.
Those who have remained with the party, do so without ulterior motives and remain faithful to the principles of the UFDG. Know that God sees everyone and He forgets no one…”
Her comments arrive at a sensitive moment for the UFDG, as the party grapples with internal divisions and speculation about potential leadership shifts ahead of the July congress.
By reasserting loyalty and moral clarity as cornerstones of the party’s future, Hadja Halimatou Dalein Diallo’s message signals a clear line: unity must come with conviction—or not at all.
