EU Gets Ruthless With Captain Moussa Dadis Camara Over 2009 Guinea Stadium Massacre As Union Declares Him Persona Non Grata And His Assets Frozen

Moussa Dadis Camara Abubakar — FILE- In this file photo taken Friday, Oct. 2, 2009, Guinea military leader Capt. Moussa Dadis Camara, left salutes next to his aide Abubakar "Toumba" Diakite during independence day celebrations in Conakry, Guinea. The government had earlier said that Camara was shot Thursday by Abubakar "Toumba" Diakite, who commands the presidential guard. A renegade faction of Guinea's presidential guard opened fire Thursday, Dec. 3, 2009, on the African country's leader, while Moussa Dadis Camara was in Conakry, a government spokesman said, amid rumors of deep divisions within the army, just 11 months after Camara sized Presidential power in a military-led coup. It was not immediately clear if Camara was wounded. (AP Photo/Schalk van Zuydam, File)

The European Union has come through on its longstanding threat of sanction against former Guinea military leader Captain Moussa Dadis Camara.

Local media in Guinea reported Sunday the EU has declared Camara persona non grata and would have his assets frozen. Four of his former collaborators including Toumba Diakite who is now in jail in Guinea are also hit by travel ban and seizure of their assets in EU countries.

Dadis seized power in Guinea in 2008 but his rule was short-lived as he got ousted after a confrontation with his top military aide Toumba Diakite.

He was shot in the head by Diakite when he tried to arrest him over the massacre of civilians at a stadium in Conakry in 2009.
