Tens of thousands of Guineans of all ages have been protesting in the capital, Conakry, against the 25% rise in the price of fuel.

The pump price went up last week as the government said it could not afford to subsidise the imports further and was meeting an International Monetary Fund (IMF) obligation to remove them.

Protesters want the price to go back to its original price of 8,000 Guiean francs ($0.88, £0.67) a litre.
