Guinea’s opposition protesters clash with Police

Protesters have clashed with police in Guinea’s capital city, Conakry as tensions rise between opposition and government supporters and the country awaits local election results.

Opposition protesters in a suburb of the capital threw stones at security forces who responded by firing tear gas and warning shots.

Anti-government sentiments have fueled after a long-delayed local election for mayors and neighbourhood chiefs took place last week.

The opposition claims fraud, says it would not accept the results which are still being collated.
