A movement opposing Guinean President Alpha Conde's controversial bid for a third term in elections next month announced Wednesday that it would launch a new round of protests from late September. "Our citizens' movement calls on the population of Conakry and the surrounding area to join a series of peaceful marches, starting on Tuesday September 29, 2020, to demand Mr. Alpha Conde's departure," one of its leaders, Abdourahmane Sano, said. Deadly clashes erupted in the West African state last year over 82-year-old Conde's plans. He is contesting the October 18 polls despite accusations of sidestepping limits on presidential terms by pushing through changes to the constitution. bur-lal/ri/gd
