In Guinea, at least 58 people have been killed after troops opened fire on a huge opposition rally in the capital Conakry. A local doctor said that many victims brought to a government hospital had suffered bullet wounds. About fifty thousand people rallied against Capt Moussa Dadis Camara who seized power in Guinea in a bloodless coup last year. Captain Camara initially pledged not to run in a presidential vote planned for January but now seems likely to stand. Some opposition leaders appear to have been arrested.
