00:00Even in death, former Guinean Prime Minister Sidya Toure will remain in exile, as his family
00:06says he will be buried in Ivory Coast. The 81-year-old died in Paris last week, where
00:13he'd been receiving treatment after falling ill in Abidjan. Toure had been living in exile
00:19in Ivory Coast since the 2021 military coup that brought Mamadi Dumbuya to power. But
00:25he remained a leading opposition figure in Guinea as head of one of the country's major
00:30opposition parties, the Union of Republican Forces. The UFR was one of 40 political parties
00:38dissolved in March, in a major crackdown on civil liberties. A burial in Guinea was inconceivable
00:45due to the humiliations Toure suffered at the hands of the Guinean authorities, the UFR said.
00:53Toure's body is due to arrive in Abidjan on Friday.
