Guinea, opposition sign deal ahead of October election


    CONAKRY (Reuters) - The Guinean government signed an agreement with the opposition on Thursday, making concessions on two points of contention before a presidential election in October.

    Government sources said the deal allows for more opposition representation in local administration and envisages reform of the elections commission.
