Political Clashes Leave Two Dead in Guinea

Clashes between rival political factions in Guinea left two dead.

Dozens more were injured in the city of Gueckedou, as government supporters and opponents went into open fighting.

For the last few days there had been protests against the city's military governor, who is accused of abusing his power.

Gueckedou is also the home to one of the nation's top political opposition leaders.

Guinea's government is trying to organize elections, but the opposition says that the electoral body is biased, and fears that any election would be rigged.
