Guinea: the capital paralyzed by a general strike, a crucial test for the ruling junta. “It’s sad what we’re seeing this morning, I’ve never seen Conakry so calm, deserted.

Everything or almost everything is closed,” observes Amadou Keïta, security guard in front of a bank. The protest has become exceptional under General Mamady Doumbouya, today at the head of this country, one of the least developed in the world.
