Guinea Declares Martial Law After Months of Protests

HeadlineFeb 13, 2007

In news from Africa, the president of Guinea has declared martial law in an attempt to squash a series of popular protests against his rule. He has ordered the army to take all necessary measures to restore order. A nationwide curfew has been in place, and residents are now only allowed to leave their homes for four hours a day. In addition, demonstrations, marches and protest meetings have been prohibited. For the past month, the Guinean government has violently crushed the union-led protest movement. At least 100 demonstrators have been killed.
