One person has died during protests in Guinea after confrontations broke out between crowds and security forces.

Guinea has been hit by a series of protests since October and the latest rallies are about a constitutional referendum that would have led to President Alpha Conde remaining for a third term, if passed.

Conde postponed the referendum and parliamentary elections on Sunday.
