Iterative and continuous marches also in this country planned from September 29 against the will of Alpha Condé to remain in power

: this is what the FNDC announced. , the National Front for the Defense of the Constitution at the start of the electoral campaign for the October 18 poll.

Presidential elections which frequently rhyme with protests, recriminations, even post-electoral violence.

Poor Africa

after the coronavirus pandemic, that of the third term
