Conakry - Police in Guinea surrounded the home of the country's main opposition leader, Cellou Dalein Diallo, on yesterday preventing him from joining a new anti-government protest in the capital Conakry. At least five of Diallo's supporters were injured yesterday in clashes near his home with police armed with clubs, shields and grenade launchers, an AFP correspondent at the scene reported. "We are here to prevent Mr Dalein Diallo from leaving his home and going to an unauthorised march. It's not an order to mess around with and if anyone tries to ignore it, he will be subdued," a police official who requested anonymity told AFP. "It's sad for my country," Diallo, standing outside his home yesterday, told journalists, calling the police action a violation of freedom and the constitution by Conde.
