Armed men have attacked and killed the commander of a military base in western Guinea, Reuters news agency is reporting quoting a statement from the country’s Defence Minister Mohamed Diané.
Diané identified the commander who was killed as Mamady Condé, who led a battalion of commandos at the Somoreyah base.
Conde, 82, says he has the right to run again under a new constitution approved by referendum in March, arguing that it resets the clock on the two-term limit.
