(SomaliNet) Guinea's streets have been characterized by noise and confusion as the youthful natives of Guinea's community protested over the country's poor economic conditions.
The strike, mainly held by the student community of Guinea, has been going on for the past five days. The youthful Guineans demand for a change. Most importantly, what the Guineans want is a reduction in rice and fuel prices. They chanted that it is high time Guinea's government negotiated with members of Guinea's workers' unions.
By the day's end, three Guineans had been seriously injured while 20 were in custody of Guinea's police.
By yesterday evening, relative peace had returned to Guinea's towns. However, northern Guinea was still characterized by violence. In Guinea's Labe state, the youth destroyed the officer of the administrator from Guinea's government.
