“The unions, backed by 14 opposition parties, have since toughened their line and called for Conte to be constitutionally removed by the Supreme Court on the grounds that he is too unwell to hold office.

Conte, who is 72, has run the west African country since a bloodless military coup in 1984 but suffers from diabetes and memory lapses and was twice hospitalised last year in Switzerland.”
