Guinea electoral commission announces President Alpha Conde’s controversial third term win in disputed national election
Guinea's President Alpha Conde laughs as he addresses a conference in Berlin, Germany November 19, 2019.
The announcement by the country's electoral authority followed days of violence in which around 10 people were killed in clashes over Conde's re-election bid in the West African nation of some 13 million people. "Long live democracy, long live peace, may God bless Guinea," Cisse said during a ceremony in Conakry, as Conde supporters leaped to their feet and cheered the president's victory.
Protesters hit the streets of Conakry again Saturday, and residents of some suburbs said police officers were firing tear-gas canisters to clear them away.
