VOICED : Electricity-starved Guineans look to prized dam project as election nears

The video discusses a major hydroelectric project in West Africa, initiated during President Alpha Conde's second term.

Local communities, suffering from inadequate electricity, express frustration and protest against the perceived unfair distribution, as industries like bauxite mining receive uninterrupted power. The video highlights the ongoing challenges and promises made by the government to improve power supply.
