schema:articleBody	Guinean opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo accused President Alpha Conde of exploiting ethnic divisions ahead of next month's election, risking "civil war" in the West African state. At a news conference in Senegal's capital Dakar, Diallo warned that "Guinea will regress and be exposed to violence that may one day lead to civil war" should ethnicity continue to feature in the campaign. His statement comes after Conde, 82, drew criticism for making an apparent appeal for ethnic support during a campaign speech ahead of the October 18 poll. The president in a speech on Saturday urged his base not to vote for an opposition Malinke candidate, which he said would amount to a vote for Diallo. Conde made the speech in the Malinke language, although he normally speaks French during official national addresses. Guinea's politics are mostly drawn along ethnic lines. President Conde's party is largely backed by Malinke people, and Cellou Dalein Diallo's UFDG by Fulani people, although both insist that they are pluralist. Diallo said Thursday that he was confident of winning next month's poll, noting that the risk of electoral fraud was lower in this election. The opposition leader added that he was running himself as a Guinean rather than as an ethnic Peul, or Fulani. "I have never wanted to use, to exploit, as Alpha does, ethnicity to achieve my goals," he said. Diallo served as a prime minister under former president Lansana Conte, whose government arrested Conde -- then an opposition activist -- after 1998 elections. Conde was subsequently jailed. But he eventually became Guinea's first democratically-elected president in 2010, and was returned to office by voters in 2015. Critics say he has become authoritarian, however. He pushed through a highly-controversial constitutional referendum in March, which reset the two-term presidential limit to zero -- allowing him to run for a third term next month. Opposition to that possibility spurred mass protests in Guinea from October last year. Several dozen people were killed in unrest over the ensuing months. sst-ab/eml/ach
