At least 30 people were injured in clashes between opposition supporters and security forces in central Guinea, medical sources and witnesses said on Wednesday, after an opposition leader said his car was hit by gunfire a day earlier.
Opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo, a chief rival of President Alpha Conde, on Tuesday said his vehicle was struck by a police bullet during a banned rally in the capital Conakry over disputed municipal elections.
Police denied Diallo’s allegations, but a teenager was later killed during clashes between opposition youths and police in the capital. His family said he had been shot by police.
Protests erupted on Wednesday after a meeting of Diallo’s UFDG party in Labe, his hometown and an opposition stronghold, 400km north of Conakry, local party officials said.
