Loffo Camara

Loffo Camara (c. 1925 – 25 January 1971) was a senior Guinean politician and a member of the Politburo of the First Republic of Guinea in the years immediately following independence.

Loffo Camara was trained as a midwife, and became an activist in the Democratic Party of Guinea (PDG) in Macenta.

This was in reaction to President Sékou Touré's wish to appoint Toumany Sangare and Fodéba Keita to the politburo, neither of whom had held positions of responsibility in the party.

[4] At the 8th party congress in 1967, Sékou Touré consolidated his grip on power, and was proclaimed supreme leader of the Revolution.

[5] Loffo Camara was among those arrested in December 1970 following an unsuccessful seaborne attack on Guinea by Portuguese troops.
