CONAKRY, Guinea -- Guinea's president has annulled a major contract signed with a French company by a previous leader.
President Alpha Conde announced on state television late Tuesday that his government was terminating the 25-year contract with Getma International to operate Conakry's container terminal.

Conde says he's going to review all contracts that are "not beneficial" for the West African nation. But critics say it's a move to instead award those contracts to his allies.
The French company says it already has invested more than euro27 million ($37.6 million) in the project.
Guinea is the world's largest producer of bauxite, the raw material used to make aluminum.
Conde won a November vote to become Guinea's first democratically elected leader ever.

(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.
