Coup in Guinea gains support

The leader of a coup in Guinea declared himself interim leader of the West African nation Dec. 24 and paraded through its capital, Conakry, followed by several thousand soldiers, hours after saying a presidential election would be held within two years.

Capt. Moussa Camara stood in the first truck of a military convoy and waved to the throng that lined Conakry's streets.

The renegade army captain was unknown to most Guineans until Dec. 23, when he and other members of the military announced the coup after the death of longtime dictator Lansana Conte. Until Conte's death Dec. 22, Guinea had been ruled by only two people since its 1958 independence from France. (AP)
