 A Guinean government minister said on Wednesday the country was “in danger” from outsiders plotting against it amid media reports that a coup was being planned in the capital Conakry.Security Minister Madifing Diane made the comments in response to a story in the latest edition of Paris-based weekly Le Canard Enchaine which said it had seen French and American secret service documents “announcing a coup in Conakry”.[[[[Le Canard said the coup plot had been put together by “French, South African and Israeli mercenaries with links to Paris and Africa and backed by a diamond magnate”]]]].“The unrest could be triggered as early as next week,” the newspaper said.
“These are better organised services than mine, the CIA and the French secret services that are alluding to that,” Diane said in response to questions on the plot from the media.
