Guinea: Opposition to protest election date

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — A Guinean opposition official says there will be a march to protest the president’s announcement that elections will be held on June 30.

Aboubacar Sylla, Guinean opposition spokesman, said Sunday that a peaceful demonstration will be held in the capital, Conakry, on April 18 to show objections to President Alpha Conde’s decision to set the date of the elections, ignoring ongoing consultations over the polls’ date.
