At least 15 wounded in pre-election clash in Guinea capital

The West African country has a history of election violence, and Conde earlier cancelled his last campaign rally due to security concerns

At least 15 people were wounded in the capital of Guinea on Friday amid gunshots in a clash between supporters of President Alpha Conde and his main rival Cellou Dalein Diallo ahead of elections on Sunday, witnesses said.

The West African country has a history of election violence, and Conde earlier cancelled his last campaign rally due to security concerns, after his supporters clashed with opposition backers on Thursday, leaving at least one dead and 20 injured.
