At Least 7 People Killed in Protests Against Guinea's Military Government
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Guinea, protests against the military government resumed Thursday,
one day after activists said at least seven people were killed and
dozens injured in demonstrations across the country. The military took
control over the West African nation after a 2021 coup and has been slow
to transition leadership back to a democratically elected government.
This is a resident of the capital Conakry.

Conakry resident: "If it continues like this, it won't be good. I don't
like demonstrations. We like peace. These protests are really tiring,
and we are exhausted."
