(Audio available further in this article)
Conakry - Angry youths trashed police offices and clashed with security forces in Guinea on Tuesday, leaving dozens of people wounded after an injured high school student died of alleged negligence, police and witnesses said.
Students in the town of Kamsar, 300km from the capital Conakry, “rose up en masse this morning to protest against the guilty negligence of hospital officials who allow a poor, injured student to die”, a teacher told AFP.

Police used teargas and clubs to break up the protest as students threw stones, leaving an unspecified number of people injured on both sides, police said.
Demonstrators also lit tyres and overturned garbage bins.
A resident said the youth was injured in a traffic accident last weekend and rushed to the hospital in critical condition, where doctors asked the equivalent of 550 euros for medical treatment.
Students attacked hospital staff and set fire to cars parked outside the hospital, the resident added.
Witnesses told AFP that several students were arrested and taken to an undisclosed location. -

Ethnic clashes erupt in Guinea capital
(Reuters) - Rival gangs fought with knives and truncheons in Guinea's crumbling seaside capital on Friday as ethnic tension worsened before an election in the unstable West African nation, witnesses said.
Security forces in full anti-riot gear piled into the backs of pick-up trucks and deployed across Conakry to separate the fighters as President Alpha Conde's government appealed for calm.
"It has become very bad. People set fire to a car right in front of me. I've seen four people injured in the fighting," said Souleymane Bah, a resident of Bambeto, one of several areas where clashes were reported.
