Guinea’s long-ruling dictator, Lansana Conte, died after a lengthy illness, the head of the National Assembly announced early on Tuesday.
A bridge collapsed under an overloaded truck in Guinea, throwing scores of passengers into a river and killing at least 70, the West African country’s state radio reported on Wednesday. The truck was ferrying merchandise and people back from a local market near the south-eastern town of Gueckedou when the accident occurred.
