A TOGOLESE employee of the UN refugee agency has been killed in a rebel attack on the south-eastern Guinean town of Macenta, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Geneva said. UN staff discovered the body of their colleague, who had apparently been killed by his attackers as they retreated. An Ivorian UN employee also went missing during the attack, according to the UNHCR. Tension has been running high in the region this month, following a series of attacks by suspected rebels near Guinea’s borders with Sierra Leone and Liberia. Conakry has blamed the attacks on Guinean insurgents and Sierra Leonean rebels, and has accused the governments of Liberia and Burkina Faso of fuelling the violence. – AFP
