CONAKRY, 27 March 2007 (IRIN) - Tensions continue to run high in Guinea with some 3,000 students taking to the streets on Monday in the town of Labe, 600 km north east of the capital Conakry, which saw violent clashes between protesters and police during several weeks of anti-government riots earlier this year.
“We are the forgotten people of the republic,” said Amamdou Toure, a protesting student from the University of Labe. “This place does not have what it needs to make it a normal university.”
The demonstrations mostly took place around the university where students have been on strike since 22 March, according to university authorities and students contacted by telephone.
