Guinea protests: One dead in anti-government demonstration

Protesters gather in capital, Conakry, over constitutional referendum that would have extended President Alpha Conde’s term.

One person has died during protests in Guinea after confrontations broke out between crowds and security forces.

Guinea has been hit by a series of protests since October and the latest rallies are about a constitutional referendum that would have led to President Alpha Conde remaining for a third term, if passed.

Conde postponed the referendum and parliamentary elections on Sunday.
