Guinea protests: one dead in anti-gov’t demonstration

One person has died during protests in Guinea, after confrontations broke out between crowds and security forces.
Guinea has been hit by a series of protests since October and the latest rallies are about a constitutional referendum that would have led to President Alpha Conde remaining for a third term, if passed.
Conde postponed the referendum and parliamentary elections on Sunday.

In This Story: Guinea

Guinea is a country in West Africa, bordered on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. Formerly known as French Guinea (French: Guinée française), the modern country is sometimes referred to as Guinea-Conakry to distinguish it from other countries with “Guinea” in the name.

It’s known for the Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve, in the southeast. The reserve protects a forested mountain range rich in native plants and animals, including chimpanzees and the viviparous toad. On the coast, the capital city, Conakry, is home to the modern Grand Mosque and the National Museum.
