In the African nation of Guinea, security forces shot dead as many as 30 protesters on Monday during anti-government demonstrations. At least four children died. Police also arrested 50 union leaders who helped organize the protests against President Lansana Conté, who has been in power for 23 years.

Kemoko Bangorua, student activist: “We have had enough. You know, there is a saying: 'Enough is enough.' You can hurt us once, twice, three times. But after the third time, it becomes impossible. Once it’s like that, people have had enough. So the people of Guinea, we now want to try another regime. If it works, OK; if it doesn’t work, then we change that regime, too. So this is our objective.”

Earlier today, the African Union called on the government of Guinea to end its “repression” of protesters.
