The death toll from the explosion and fire at Guinea s main fuel depot rose to 23 on Thursday, according to the government, while in Conakry clashes broke out between security forces and groups of young people protesting against the lack of petrol at service stations.
A major collective that has been opposing the ruling junta in Guinea for several months and which had spearheaded the protest against former President Conde (2010-2021), has been dissolved by a government order as it prepared a new demonstration.
