 CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) - The head of Guinea's military relaxed a nationwide curfew Sunday, an indication the government believes the threat of violence following last week's deadly rioting and protests has subsided.
The move may also be a peace offering to union leaders who have demanded that the government lift the "state of siege" imposed Monday night that put the country under martial law.
Guinea is in the midst of a general strike called by unions demanding the president step down or relinquish some of his power. Talks between union leaders and government officials were scheduled to resume Monday.
