Clashes over possible Guinea president third term

CONAKRY, 02 May. - (ANA) - Supporters and opponents of a third presidential term for Guinea's Alpha Conde clashed Tuesday, with several hurt and others arrested, witnesses said.

Conde, 81, became the first freely-elected president in Guinea's history in 2010 and was re-elected five years later.

Although Guinea has a two-term ceiling, he has repeatedly questioned the relevance of presidential term limits and has been criticised for the use of deadly force to crush protests. - (ANA) -
