Here's How Much Travis Scott Reportedly Made From His Playstation, McDonald's & Nike Deals
Many people have been killed since clashes began on Monday. Scores too had been killed in the run up to the vote as protestors marched against Conde's bid for a third term.
The 11 political parties, which have been approved to contest the March 2, 2020 elections, yesterday signed a Code of Conduct under the auspices of the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC).
Security forces patrolled the mostly deserted streets of the Guinean capital Conakry on Saturday.
Debris and smouldering garbage marked the aftermath of afternoon clashes between supporters of Cellou Diallo and the Police.
President Alpha Conde was declared winner of last Sunday's vote with nearly 60%.
Speaking from his house where he's barricaded since Monday by security forces, opposition leader Cellou Diallo denounced 'savage repression' of his supporters.
\"We are going to protest against this electoral hold-up through the street. We are in the process of building a case, which is very difficult since our office is occupied, we don't have access to our documents, but we are nevertheless going to refer the matter to the constitutional court,\" Diallo said.
\"In the fight against the third term, we now have more than 130 victims,\" he said, referring to people who have been killed in anti-Conde rallies since last October.
Three people were killed in Saturday night's violence.
\"My call to the opposition activists: lay down weapons, be calm and look forward to the future. Nothing is worth destroying Guinea,\" remarked Sékou Condé, permanent Secretary of the ruling RPG party.
Dressed in yellow T-shirts, Conde's supporters held processions to celebrate the 82-year-old's win in the capital.
\"Alpha Condé is everyone's president. Not the Peul, not the Malinké, not the Guerze (ethnic groups). It is Guinea that is winning. For us, Guinea is one and indivisible,\" said Ismaël Bangoura, who is pro-Conde.
A delegation comprising of officials from the United Nations, the African Union and regional bloc ECOWAS was expected in Conakry in the coming days, as efforts to de-escalate the stalemate in the west African country gather pace.

He shared the news to his fans on Twitter yesterday.
Barthélemy Boganda , (born April 4, 1910, Bobangui, Moyen-Congo, French Equatorial Africa [now in Central African Republic]—died March 29, 1959, near Bangui), the major nationalist leader of the Central African Republic (formerly Ubangi-Shari) in the critical decolonization period of the 1950s. His strong popular support was unmatched by that of any other political figure in the four colonies of French Equatorial Africa. Stridently anticolonial but pragmatic, he could (and did) make deals with the colonial administration and European businessmen to gain his ends.
Boganda was born of a peasant family and became the first African Roman Catholic priest in Ubangi-Shari. He was sponsored by the Catholic missions as a candidate in the November 1946 elections to the French National Assembly and won against an administration-backed candidate. However, he soon denounced the missions as well as the colonial administration, and he left the French Catholic party (the Republican Popular Movement) and the priesthood. In 1949 he founded his own party, the Social Evolution Movement of Black Africa, which he dominated completely. In the 1951 campaign a French administrator briefly arrested him for “endangering the peace.”
Subsequently, Boganda’s prestige was essentially unchallenged. Even the French government realized it was useless to oppose him and made efforts to conciliate him. In 1956 he also came to an agreement with French businessmen, who offered him financial support in return for European representation on municipal and territorial election lists.
In 1957 Boganda became the president of the Grand Council of French Equatorial Africa (which also included Chad, Gabon, and the French Congo). He hoped for a federation of these states under African rather than French control and for the eventual creation of a “United States of Latin Africa” that would also include Angola, the Belgian Congo, Ruanda-Urundi, and Cameroon. By late 1958 this dream was shattered, and he turned his attention again to the future Central African
Voters in Seychelles are casting their ballots in the presidential and parliamentary elections spanning three days.
Saturday was the main and last day of voting. The exercise had opened on Thursday for voters on fringe islands and essential workers such as hospital staff in the Indian Ocean island country.
74,600 people are eligible to vote.
Most of the Indian Ocean islands making up the Seychelles, a prized honeymoon destination famed for white beaches and lush vegetation, are uninhabited and the archipelago's 98,000 residents mainly live on the islands of Mahe, Praslin and La Digue.
The opposition is hoping to unseat incumbent president Danny Faure, in power since 2016. Faure was not elected but took over after his boss, James Michel, resigned as president.
Faure is running under the United Seychelles party, which has been in power since 1977.
His main rival is the Anglican priest Wavel Ramkalawan, who is taking his sixth shot at the presidency and lost by only 193 votes to Michel in an unprecedented second round of voting in 2015.
Virus and economy
The main concern of voters is the economic situation in the country, which has suffered the loss of vital tourism -- its main earner -- because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Seychelles has recorded only 149 mostly imported cases, but the virus has been a key campaign issue, with the health minister banning election rallies which would have been a barometer of support for various candidates in a country without a polling institute.
The campaign has mainly happened over social media, where the opposition and its supporters are the most active, and on television where the country held its first ever debates between the candidates, which proved extremely popular.
Since the start of the pandemic, the economy has slowed significantly, with some 700 Seychellois losing their jobs, according to government figures.
And while average income is among the highest in Africa, the national statistics agency says that about 40 percent of Seychellois live in poverty because of the high cost of living.
Another key theme of the campaign has been corruption, a largely taboo topic in the tiny country where business and politics are often intertwined.
