Protests over teachers' strike turn deadly in Guinea

At least five people have been killed in Guinea's capital, Conakry, in protests sparked by a teacher's strike.

This is reviving labour tensions in a country where previous strikes have led to dozens of deaths.
 
Guinea's main teachers' unions launched the strike on the first of this month to protest the government's decision to dismiss or cut the salaries of many junior teachers after the latest civil service exams.
 
Many of their students have taken to the streets in recent days to support them.

Report says unidentified assailants attacked a police station and demonstrators clashed with security forces in several districts of Conakry.
