Fresh clashes between protesters and security forces erupt in Guinea's capital Conakry despite ban by junta on demonstrations amid discontent with the regime's planning to transition back to democracy
FNDC, an influential political coalition, called for the demonstrations to denounce the junta's"unilateral management" of the return to civilian rule
The latest clashes came after protests against Guinea's junta and its handling of plans to return to democracy brought the capital to a standstill on Thursday, with organisers claiming that one person was killed. Thursday's protest took place ahead of comments by the chair of a regional bloc who claimed to have persuaded the junta to shorten its timeline for a return to democracy. The junta has not confirmed his comments.
But regional powers have rejected this timeline, with Economic Community of West African States suspending Guinea after the coup.
