Anti-government riots flare in Guinea after seven reported dead

Guinea was hit by further anti-government protests on Thursday after organisers said at least seven people had been killed and 32 injured during demonstrations in the capital Conakry and other towns a day earlier.

Police in riot gear fired tear gas at protestors who threw rocks and burnt tyres in Conakry on Thursday, the latest in a series of protests against the military government that seized power in 2021 and has been slow to hand power back to civilians.
