Guinea fans give the Syli Nationale tremendous support
|
Traffic has been banned from the streets of the Guinean capital Conakry for two hours following the country's Cup of Nations match against Rwanda on Wednesday.
In the light of the four deaths which followed Guinea's 2-1 victory over DR Congo in their opening match, the Guinean government said security forces would be deployed on the streets of the capital.
On Sunday, Guinea's victory sparked thousands of fans to take to the streets in Conakry but trouble began following some theft.
In the confusion, three people died in a car crash and another person was run over.
Should Guinea avoid defeat against Rwanda on Wednesday, they would go top of Group A - at least for a few hours until the result of the other group clash between Tunisia and DR Congo is known.
The clash between Guinea and Rwanda kicks off at 1300 GMT.
