Police responded with teargas and bullets. The clashes erupted as soon as provisional results released by the electoral commission showed president Alpha Conde winning with a big margin.  \n\nConde, 82, won twice as many votes as his nearest rival, opposition candidate Cellou Dalein Diallo, with 37 of 38 districts counted, according to preliminary results from the commission. \n\n\nOpposition supporters accuse the electoral authorities of rigging the vote for incumbent president Alpha Conde. \n\nSekou Koundouno, head of mobilisation for the opposition coalition FNDC said Conde had committed 'high treason'.  \n\n\"He is an illegal and illegitimate candidate who is stubbornly pursuing his obsession to turn Guin ea into a monarchy in which, by the way, he will dictate orders to his subjects,\" said Kounduno.  \n\nDiallo maintains that he won with a landslide despite irregularities, according to his own tally. He remains barricaded in his home which security forces have besieged since Monday. \n\nICC warning  \n\nThe International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor warned on Friday that warring factions in Guinea could be prosecuted after fighting erupted. \n\n\n“I wish to repeat this important reminder: anyone who commits, orders, incites, encourages and contributes in any other way to crimes … is liable to prosecution either by the Guinean courts or the ICC,” she said. \n\n\n#ICC Prosecutor #FatouBensouda: "I wish to repeat this important reminder: anyone who commits, orders, incites, encourages or contributes, in any other way, to the commission of #RomeStatute crimes, is liable to prosecution either by #Guinean courts or by the #ICC."\r\n— Int'l Criminal Court (@IntlCrimCourt) October 23, 2020 \n\n\nMany people have been killed since clashes began on Monday.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AFP) — Brazil's north-east, a harsh place of arid land, cyclical drought, and crushing poverty, is emerging as the next crisis zone in the novel coronavirus pandemic.

As the virus surges in Brazil — which now has the second-highest number of cases in the world after the United States — the country's poorest region has been hit hard, both by the disease and the painful measures taken to contain it.

The nine states of the north-east have the second-highest number of cases and deaths in Brazil, after the wealthy south-east, where the outbreak began.

The north-east is sometimes called the “Cradle of Brazil,” because it is where the Portuguese founded their first colonial capital, Salvador.

When the virus arrived in Brazil and Bolsonaro downplayed it as a “little flu”, the north-east took matters into its own hands.

And now, Apple has decided to close its stores once again as coronavirus cases begin to rise across the United States after it peaked in many cities back in April.

“Due to current Covid-19 conditions in some of the communities we serve, we are temporarily closing stores in these areas,” an Apple spokesman shared Friday in a statement.

The stores to be closed are in Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina, four states that are seeing the highest seven-day average of new coronavirus infections since the pandemic took root in the U.S.

Initially, Apple closed all of its stores in China, and when the outbreak began to hit the States, it followed suit as one of the first retailers to make such a radical decision.

Luanda — The novel coronavirus has travelled beyond the limits of the capital, Luanda, after three positive cases of covid-19 were reported in northern Cuanza Norte province, out of six reported in the country since the last update of Monday.

The information was released Tuesday evening in Luanda by the secretary of State for Public Health, Franco Mudinda, who said the six new cases bring the total number of infections in the country to 148.

He added that the two Luanda cases are residents of Hoji Ya Henda neighbourhood, while the Cuanza Norte ones are West African nationals who skipped the sanitary cordon.

Updating the new coronavirus statistics, Mufinda said Angola has six deaths, 78 active patients and 64 recoveries, with 69 imported cases and 83 locally transmitted infections.

By virtue of the covid-19 pandemic and the consequent state of public calamity in force in the country, Angola's capital , Luanda , that until Tuesday remained the only region of the country reporting positive cases of the deadly virus, was isolated from the rest of the national territory, with the authorities considering an offence any unauthorised trips in and out.

Still in Position

Akinwumi Adesina - a 60-year-old former Nigerian agriculture minister, was unanimously re-elected to serve as the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB) for a second term of five years.

The winning and only candidate, over an exceptional annual meeting held via a video conference call, thanked his peers, \"We also made history by re-electing me by 100% vote, via a vote I became the first president of the bank in its history to be re-elected by a 100% vote of all its shareholders and I am most grateful and appreciative.\"

Alleged Corruption

Grateful indeed, as events over recent months saw this same re-elected president of the AfDB facing accusations of corruption and favouritism - of which, he has since been exonerated following an internal inquiry by the bank's ethics committee Amadou Hott, the Senegalese finance minister and AfDB board of governors member, shared some words, \"In this regard, and in the spirit of unity and collaboration, we authorize the creation of an ad hoc committee of the Board of Governors to oversee the review of the Bank's governance framework for ethics and complaints handling.\"

In spite of the affair, the bank - although its reputation did take a hit, managed to maintain its triple-A evaluation from the rating agencies.

The son of a farming family, in 2015 he became the first Nigerian to head the bank, one of the world's five biggest multilateral lenders and an important but often unseen player in economic development.

He gained continent-wide recognition last October when the AfDB secured $115 billion (105 billion euros) in funding pledges, a move that doubled its capital and cemented its triple-A credit rating.

Post-Pandemic Anticipated Recession

The 56-year-old institution estimates that Africa could lose at least $173 billion (147 billion euros) in GDP in 2020 and $236 billion in 2021 as a result of the economic fallout from the Covid-19 crisis. The bank set up a coronavirus funding mechanism up to $10 billion in April. Adesina has five years to revive the continent's economies, which are feeling the weight of the Covid-19 pandemic.
