Three die over delayed Guinean polls
CONAKRY (Guinea): At least three people died on Friday on the second day of street protests that have swept the capital over delayed elections, witnesses and officials said. Opposition parties have accused President Alpha Conde, who took office in 2010 following Guinea's first democratic transfer of power since 1958, of trying to rig the polls in the world's largest bauxite exporter. The opposition, which says Conde did not consult them before announcing the poll date, has called on its supporters to protest until Conde backs down and calls off the June 30 poll. Agencies
