President Lansana Conte has reshuffled the government of Guinea, appointing a longtime trusted aide to the top cabinet post and bringing back several onetime ministers. The reshuffle, announced on state radio and television on Monday evening, comes almost two months after the sacking of reformist prime minister Cellou Dalein Diallo, 5 April, and Radio France Internationale said it marked a return of the old guard in Guinea, where Conte has been in office for 22 years.
