Guinea's Run-off Elections End With Opposition Victory

The results have been tallied, and opposition leader Alpha Conde has been declared the victor. When news of the opposition victory sparked ethnic violence in Guinea's capital, as Peuls began to sack the homes of Malinke residents. Members of the former ruling party have cried fowl at the results, accusing the opposition of voter fraud. CENI, the nation's independent electoral commission, has stated that there are no cases of voter fraud, despite the 28 allegations filled by the losing contender Diallo.
