Guinea’s President Alpha Conde has sacked his security minister following delay protests against indications he will try to stay in power after his two-term mandate runs out.

At least 13 people have died in demonstrations in Conakry in recent days.

President Alpha Conde hasn’t given an official reason for sacking Security Minister Alpha Ibrahima Keira.

Senior officials in Conakry say is certainly because he’s unhappy about the handling of protest against the possibility of his staying in power.

Conde, whose two-term limit runs out next year, has asked officials to examine the possibility of amending the constitution to enable him to press the reset button on his presidency as a number of other African  leaders have done.
