Over the past few weeks tens of thousands of workers in the West African state of Guinea have been striking, protesting after government soldiers opened fire on pro-democracy demonstrators at a football stadium in the capital, Conakry, last month. Mark Doyle reports on how events are playing out on the capital’s streets.

  1. People of Guinea, please come together and select your leader for we librian are living witnesses of civil crisis so i advise that you come together as one family. Despite Dadis Camara is not a Sousou nor fula neigher a mandigo, he is a native child of that nation if God says he will be your leader, accept him and carry on election to see as of whether he will be chosen or not but don’t try to kill he for he toke the lead after the death of the late president. To conclude, war is the way that lead to destruction and delay in every thing that a man do in this world we are living.
