schema:articleBody	Guinea's opposition on Thursday called for sweeping protests over fears that President Alpha Conde is changing the constitution to seek a third term, urging people to stock up on food in case of turmoil. The West African country has been wracked by mass demonstrations since mid-October over concerns that Conde intends to use a planned constitutional reform to extend his mandate. At least 20 civilians and one gendarme have been killed in the protests, which have drawn hundreds of thousands of people. Scores have been arrested. On Thursday, protest organisers upped the ante and urged Guineans "to mobilise massively and everywhere," both throughout the country and abroad. The National Front for the Defence of the Constitution (FNDC), an alliance of opposition groups, called for "open-ended" but peaceful demonstrations and asked people to stock up "on basic foodstuffs without delay". Conde, 81, published a draft constitution last month, arguing that the colonial-era laws needed to be changed. But his adversaries are convinced he plans to use the reform to stay in office beyond the two presidential terms currently stipulated in the former French colony's constitution. The president has neither confirmed nor denied that claim. Guinea, a mineral-rich but poor country of some 13 million, is facing a busy political year. Legislative elections are due in February and a presidential election is scheduled sometime this year, as well as a possible referendum on the constitution. However, opposition political parties are boycotting the legislative elections and have vowed to prevent them. Conde is a former opposition figure who was jailed under Guinea's previous authoritarian regimes. He became the first democratically elected president in 2010. Despite initial hopes of a new political dawn, critics say Conde's rule has become increasingly authoritarian. mb-lal/eml/ach
