Sidya Toure, former prime minister and a leading opposition figure in Guinea where dissenting voices and political parties have been stifled, has died at age 81, sources close to his family told AFP.
Toure had been leading one of the country’s major opposition parties, the Union of Republican Forces (UFR), from exile in Ivory Coast.
UFR was among 40 political parties dissolved in March in a major crackdown on civil liberties under the country’s longtime strongman Mamady Doumbou
