Cecil,
I am at a loss trying to understand why Kabba's support for the CDF should disturb you, when the latter is trying to restore the constitutionally-elected government. If I follow your reasoning - and correct me If I'm wrong - Kabba should not support the CDF because of some fear of the unknown - what if the CDF decides to "call debt", as you put it. On this, I cannot disagree with you more. Speculations about what the CDF might do does not in any way delegitimize their struggle. Contrary to your opinion, the CDF is not an ethnically-based militia and they are not fighting an ethnic cause. Also, the Conakry accord is DEAD, so I don't see how you want to hold Kabba to the terms of an accord that the Junta has been flagrantly violating. In the face of junta violations, what must Kabba do? Throw his support behind the junta or call for unilateral disarmament of the CDF? The CDF has made it clear that although they are not party to the Conakry deal, they are more than willing to abide by its terms if the junta does the same. The junta, however, has made it clear that it will not disarm. So what must Kabba do in the face of this intransigence? The junta would only honor the accord they signed if they are forced to do so militarily. There are no two ways about it and those who believe the junta is poised to hand over power voluntarily to Kabba are simply deluding themselves.
So, with all due respect, Kabba's support for the CDF is long overdue - they are the only patriotic armed force we have in the country today. They have every right to embrace armed struggle to end our nightmare and restore the government. The best way to silence the Kamajors is for the junta to honor the agreement they signed. Kabba is supporting the CDF for the same reason he is supporting ECOMOG - this should be clear to all by now. The junta will not exit peacefully and we must brace ourselves for their violent exit.
