The appointment of Sanoussy Bantama Sow as the new Guinean Minister of Sports may not sit well with Aboubacar Camara, given the known tension between the two individuals. In their previous roles as Minister of Youth and Youth Employment and Minister of Sports, respectively, the two men had a history of strained relations, primarily stemming from the unclear distribution of responsibilities and prerogatives assigned to each.
With the removal of Titi Camara from his position, Sanoussy Sow has assumed the portfolio of his former counterpart, merging it with his existing role. He now holds the position of Minister of Youth, Youth Employment, and Sports. While not widely recognized in the sports realm, Sanoussy Sow is a prominent figure in politics. He is a staunch supporter of Guinean Head of State Alpha Condé and has been actively involved in advocating for the establishment of full multipartyism in Guinea.
Sow’s current mission is to elevate the standard of Guinean sports in general, with a specific focus on football, the country’s primary sport. The immediate goal is to secure qualification for CAN 2013, with the Syli facing Mena from Niger in Niamey this weekend (Syli leading 1-0 from the first leg).
