Guinea Coup: who is in control?

Newsday

Available for over a year

Soldiers appear on national TV after hours of heavy gunfire, claiming to have dissolved the government. But the defence ministry says the coup has been thwarted. The lifetime cost of plastic produced in 2019 has been calculated at more than 3.7 trillion dollars by researchers - more than the GDP of India. And Brazil and Argentina's World Cup qualifier is suspended minutes after kick-off after the police arrived on the pitch to detain and deport four Argentine players accused of breaching Covid quarantine rules.
