International envoys mediating in the violence following Guinea's disputed election have urged the government to lift a blockade of the home of opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo.
Representatives from the United Nations, African Union and the 15-nation West African bloc ECOWAS said in a statement on Tuesday that \"Guinean authorities (must) lift the barricade in the spirit of inclusive dialogue\".
Police have barricaded Diallo inside his house for days, as post-election clashes between his supporters and security forces flared last week.
President Alpha Conde, 82, won the October 18 election according to official preliminary results announced on Saturday, which would give him a controversial third term in office.
He pushed through a new constitution in March which allowed him to bypass a two-term limit for presidents. The move sparked mass protests, which were met with deadly crackdowns by security forces.
But Diallo disputes the results and claimed victory last week, citing data his activists gathered at individual polling stations.
His self-proclaimed victory led to unrest.
The government put the number of dead at 21, but the political opposition says 27 people died. AFP was unable to independently confirm the number of deaths.
The international envoys -- who include ECOWAS Commission President Jean-Claude Kassi Brou and the UN special representative to West Africa, Mohamed Ibn Chambas -- landed in Guinea on Sunday to mediate.
In a statement on Tuesday, the representatives said they had come to \"lower sociopolitical tensions\" after the election.
They urged Guinea to investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice.
ZIMBABWE Miners Federation (ZMF) president Henrietta Rushwaya was yesterday arrested at the Robert Mugabe International Airport while attempting to smuggle six kilogrammes of processed gold to Dubai. BY RICHARD MUPONDE Rushwaya, who is also a former Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) chief executive, was nabbed after it was discovered that there were gold bars in her hand luggage during scanning. Airport authorities then alerted the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) detectives from Minerals, Flora and Fauna Unit, who then intercepted her luggage as she was about to check-in. National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi yesterday confirmed Rushwaya’s arrest. “The ZRP confirms the arrest of Henrietta Rushwaya at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport after scanners at the airport checkpoint showed that there was something in her hand luggage,” he said. It is alleged that detectives were tipped off about Rushwaya and they put her under surveillance. They then alerted the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe to pay particular attention to her luggage. When the scanners picked up the gold, officials alerted the detectives who searched her bag in her presence. An estimated six kilogrammes of gold worth US$366 000 was recovered. On being questioned, Rushwaya allegedly indicated that she obtained it from one Ali from Alexandra Park, Harare, whom she alleged was a licensed gold buyer under the name Ali Japan 786 Private Limited, but failed to produce supporting documents. She alleged that she had been instructed by Ali to deliver the gold to an unidentified person at Dubai Airport. She is expected to appear at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts today. Rushwaya rose to the helm of ZMF, a grouping of small-scale miners in the country, after a protracted legal battle with a group of artisanal miners from Zvishavane and Mberegwa, who argued that she had bribed her way to the top. The dispute was settled by the Supreme Court which ruled in her favour. Rushwaya is not new to scandals and was fingered for match-fixing in the infamous 2013 Asiagate scandal. She was acquitted by the courts in 2016. However, she still remains banned from partaking in football matters.

Guinean President Alpha Condé makes his first public appearance since the election of October 18, 2020 by visiting gendarmes and police officers injured in the clashes that followed the election. According to provisional results announced on 24 October by the electoral commission (Céni), the head of state, 82 years old, was reappointed for a third controversial term by obtaining 59.5% of the votes cast.
Guinean opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo said Wednesday that a blockade of his home, imposed by the security forces following tumultuous presidential elections on October 18, had been lifted.
\"We discovered on the stroke of noon that we could go in and out. They packed up without warning, in the same way that they had come,\" Diallo told the press.
Police barricaded the politician in his home in the capital Conakry after he declared victory a day after the vote -- a claim denied by the government and which led to lethal clashes.
On Tuesday, mediators from the UN, African Union and regional bloc ECOWAS called on the \"security measures\" around Diallo's home to be lifted \"in the spirit of inclusive dialogue.\"
Diallo said that barricades around the headquarters of his party, the UFDG, and around his offices, remained in place.
The security presence in reputedly pro-opposition districts of Conakry was also notably lighter on Wednesday.
\"We were surprised this morning to see that the troops deployed in our area had packed up and gone,\" said Souleymane Bangoura, an inhabitant of the district of Sonfonia.
President Alpha Conde, 82, won the hotly-contested election according to official results announced Saturday, setting the stage for a controversial third term.
Conde was a former opposition leader during years of hardline rule who in 2010 became the first democratically-elected president of one of Africa's poorest and most volatile states.
But he has been accused by critics of authoritarian drift during his second term in office, which he won in 2015.
He pushed through a new constitution in March which he argued would modernise the country.
But it also allowed him to bypass a two-term limit for presidents, arguing that the counter had been reset to zero.
Opposition to that outcome had provoked mass protests from October 2019, in which security forces killed dozens of people.
Conde, who had not been seen in public since election day, visited the military hospital in the capital on Wednesday under the close guard of the \"red berets\", an elite military unit.
Accompanied by Defence Minister Mohamed Diane and his personal adviser Tibou Camara, Conde spoke with police and gendarmes who had been injured in post-election violence.
- Deadly clashes -
Diallo was formerly a prime minister under authoritarian leader Lansana Conte, and has unsuccessfully challenged Conde in each election the president has contested.
On October 19, without waiting for official results, Diallo maintained that data his activists had gathered at individual polling stations showed that he had won.
