\t On Friday, internet and international calls were cut off across the West African nation in anticipation of the election results, according to locals and international observers in the capital, Conakry.
\t This was the third time that Conde matched-up against Diallo. Before the election, observers raised concerns that an electoral dispute could reignite ethnic tensions between Guinea's largest ethnic groups.
The 11 political parties, which have been approved to contest the March 2, 2020 elections, yesterday signed a Code of Conduct under the auspices of the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC).
[Radio Dabanga] Khartoum -- Sudan, the United Nations and the African Union have confirmed that the UN-AU mission in Darfur UNAMID will exit Sudan on December 31, as planned earlier.
France and Mali had a difference of opinion on Monday over whether to talk to jihadists to help end the Sahel state's eight-year-old insurgency, with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian ruling the option out.
During a news conference in the capital Bamako, Le Drian distinguished between engaging with armed groups which had signed peace accords, and \"terror groups\".
\"In the peace agreements there is a very essential element which is the reconstituted army,\" he said.
\"The prime minister has just referred to it and it is the urgency of the moment. And then there are the terrorist groups that have not signed the peace agreement, things are simple.\"
Le Drian's visit marks the first by a French politician since young army officers toppled president Ibrahim Boubacar Keita on August 18.
After international pressure, Mali's military junta handed over to an interim government which is meant to stage elections within 18 months.
Le Drian said his position was shared by the United Nations Security Council and the G5 Sahel countries.
But in a sign of a policy rift, Mali's interim leader disagreed with the French official.
\"The conclusions of the inclusive national dialogue that took place in our country, very clearly indicated the need for an offer of dialogue with armed groups,\" said Moctar Ouane, Mali's interim prime minister.
Mali has born witness to conflict since 2012 and thousands of soldiers and civilians have been killed since then.
Intense fighting has continued despite the presence of French and UN troops, prompting many to argue that dialogue with jihadists is the best way to end the bloodshed.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres told French daily Le Monde in September \"there will be groups with which we can talk, and which will have an interest in engaging in dialogue to become political actors in the future\".
Swathes of Mali, a vast West African nation of some 19 million people, lie outside government control.
France has 5,100 soldiers deployed across the Sahel region as part of its anti-jihadist Operation Barkhane.

International envoys mediating in the violence following Guinea's disputed election have urged the government to lift a blockade of the home of opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo.
Representatives from the United Nations, African Union and the 15-nation West African bloc ECOWAS said in a statement on Tuesday that \"Guinean authorities (must) lift the barricade in the spirit of inclusive dialogue\".
Police have barricaded Diallo inside his house for days, as post-election clashes between his supporters and security forces flared last week.
President Alpha Conde, 82, won the October 18 election according to official preliminary results announced on Saturday, which would give him a controversial third term in office.
He pushed through a new constitution in March which allowed him to bypass a two-term limit for presidents. The move sparked mass protests, which were met with deadly crackdowns by security forces.
But Diallo disputes the results and claimed victory last week, citing data his activists gathered at individual polling stations.
His self-proclaimed victory led to unrest.
The government put the number of dead at 21, but the political opposition says 27 people died. AFP was unable to independently confirm the number of deaths.
The international envoys -- who include ECOWAS Commission President Jean-Claude Kassi Brou and the UN special representative to West Africa, Mohamed Ibn Chambas -- landed in Guinea on Sunday to mediate.
In a statement on Tuesday, the representatives said they had come to \"lower sociopolitical tensions\" after the election.
They urged Guinea to investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice.

With just days until the Ivory Coast presidential election, campaigning is unusually quiet this year as the spectres of the 2010 post-election violence, which killed thousands of people, still haunt the population.
\"Frankly you don't feel an upcoming election in the countryside, because people are fearful. Everyone just has to go and get their voter card to vote, that's what is essential,\" one voter told Africanews.
\"Our neighborhood is Williamsville. No one said to my brothers and sisters let's go and campaign, No one did,\" said another.
The posters of incumbent Alassane Ouattara, who is seeking a controversial third term are not as visible as in the 2010 and 2015 votes.
Posters of Konan Kouadio Bertin, his only campaigning opponent are even rarer.
More than 7.5 million voters are expected to cast their ballots on Saturday but violence has already flared in some regions, over Ouattara's decision to run again.
National observers fear the insecurity could cause a high abstention rate.
Ouattara has been in power for nearly a decade. After his heir-apparent died unexpectedly, the incumbent president said he would run for a third term.
Ouattara insists that his first two terms do not count toward term limits because Ivory Coast has approved a new constitution.
Opposition activists want Ouattara disqualified from the election. ECOWAS advised a meeting between the president and Bertin but so far they only reportedly spoke on the phone on Sunday.

Mixed Feelings in Algeria
Many Algerians are divided over a constitutional revision by which President Abdelmadjid Tebboune intends to move the country forward. Some citizens even refuse to go to the polls on Sunday to vote on this national decision. Qusum Abd al-Rahim, a university student, shared his thoughts, \"I have never voted, nor will I ever vote, and the reason is that in my life I have not thought about this matter or this constitution or understood the details or other related matters.\"
Ahmed, a local worker, expressed his stance on the matter, \"Frankly, I will not vote, because I do not recognise this system at all and I will not vote for it. Algerians did not vote for President Tebboune as he was assigned against their will. That's why I will not vote.\"
The strategic flagship initiative will supposedly honour the demands of the February 2019 born Hirak protest movement in the country while still preserving old political structures.
The new text mentions a series of rights and freedoms but preserves the foundations of a heavily presidential system.
Background
The Hirak movement suspended protests in March at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Its vast, peaceful anti-government demonstrations were sparked by Bouteflika's bid for a fifth term in office.
The longtime president was eventually forced to step down two months after the launch of protests, but the Hirak kept up its weekly mass rallies for over a year in total as protesters demanded significant reforms to the governing system in place since the nation’s independence from France in 1962.
