---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the West African nation of Guinea, Amnesty International reports
security forces have killed at least 10 protesters during demonstrations
that broke out after the reelection of President Alpha Condé to a third
term last week. Opposition leaders say the death toll is closer to 30
people. Opponents and critics of Condé are challenging the results of
the election and say there is evidence of fraud.
