Two teenagers killed in anti-junta protests in Guinea

AT least two teenagers have been killed in Guinea during protests against the ruling military junta, relatives and organisers said today.

The demonstrations, staged by the National Front for the Defence of the Constitution (FNDC), took place as the motorcade of military leader Colonel Mamady Doumbouya passed through the West African country’s capital Conakry.

Clashes broke out during the day, as demonstrators hurled stones at officers, who retaliated with tear gas.
