The coup leader that seized control of Guinea at the weekend has lifted a curfew on mining activities in the resource-rich West African nation.. while land and air borders have been re-opened. Colonel Mamady Doumbouya has urged mining companies to keep operating, after global aluminium prices soared to 10-year highs on fears that bauxite mining in the country would be disrupted. As Liz Maddock reports, Doumbouya has promised to set-up a government of national unity to lead the transition of power.
