Guinean President Visits US, Faces Term Limit Questions

Salem Solomon

   WASHINGTON - As Guinea's president visits the U.S. preaching economic
   development, a debate rages back home about term limits.

   President Alpha Condé spent the week visiting U.S. diplomats, granting
   interviews and meeting with business leaders. He said his goal is to
   attract investment and transform his country's economy, which
   historically has been heavily dependent on mineral extraction.

   "Guinea has potential. We don't want to be providers of primary
   materials. We want businesses to come here, work here and create
   value," he told VOA's French to Africa service. "My dream is that
   Africa [becomes] not only a factory for Africa but a factory for the
   world."
