Guinea president happy for Strauss-Kahn
(Audio available further in this article)
MALABO, Equatorial Guinea, July 2 (UPI) -- The president of Guinea says he has more sympathy for fellow Socialist Dominique Strauss-Kahn than the Guinean woman who accused Strauss-Kahn of rape.
President Alpha Conde discussed the case with a reporter while he was attending the African Union summit in Equatorial Guinea, Radio France Internationale reported.

"We are both members of the Socialist Party, the French Socialist Party is a member of the Socialist International, so I am very happy for him and I hope his sufferings will not have a lasting effect," Conde said.
Strauss-Kahn was head of the International Monetary Fund and expected to become the Socialist Party's candidate for president of France when he was arrested. Nafissatou Diallo accused him of raping her at the hotel where she worked as a housekeeper.
Prosecutors have acknowledged that new information about Diallo has weakened their case. One instance is a recorded phone call to her boyfriend, an immigration detainee, telling him Strauss-Kahn "has money," The New York Times reported.
RFI said most Guineans interviewed in the capital, Conakry, supported the accuser, with one saying, "The poor are always bullied by the privileged."
Conde said he will try to help Diallo.
"We will see how we can come to her aid, because Guinea has to defend its children wherever they are. We will see how we can help her," he said.

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.
