Two issues with content[edit]

Sources differ on his parentage. His mother was apparently either Lebanese or of Lebanese and Guinea Forestière parentage (sources are inconsistent). The story of the straws in the mayo jar has been denied and there are at least two other stories of how leadership was decided (by Dadis getting somewhere first, or by a discussion in which Konaté wanted power to go to Gen. Mamadouba "Toto" Camara [who outranked the rest of the group] but Dadis responding that if Konaté did not want power, he [Dadis] would take it). Need sources on these.--A12n (talk) 06:46, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
