Guinea security forces gun down protesters, five killed

Security forces opened fire on villagers in southeastern Guinea protesting Brazilian mining giant Vale's employment of outside ethnic groups, killing at least five people, officials said on Sunday. "Security forces killed five villagers in the town of Zogota near N'zerekore on Friday night," said Labile Michel Sonomou, president of the Guinean branch of Lawyers Without Borders...[V]illagers vandalised facilities of Vale, which is developing one of Africa's largest iron-ore mines at Mont Simandou. "The Brazilian company's facilities were vandalised by the villagers who were protesting the recruitment of workers from other ethnic groups, excluding natives," a local government official told AFP.
