NSTworld: The West African country has been hit by rolling protests since mid-October over concerns President Alpha Conde plans to reform the constitution to attempt to stay in office for a third term.
Crowds marched from the suburbs of the capital Conakry to the city centre in one of the biggest protests, and witnesses told AFP that demonstrators came out in cities including Labe, Pita, Dalaba, Mamou and Boke.
Meanwhile, protesters in Conakry came out dressed in red – the colour of the opposition – carrying placards reading “No to a new constitution” and “No to a third mandate for Alpha Conde.”Thousands of Guineans took to the streets on January 6, in a new anti-government protest, with partisan violence injuring at least 12 people in the country's east. - AFP
An opposition march in the city was postponed after the intervention of local and religious officials to avoid clashes, according to sources.
