 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London.

 Guinea gears up for campaigns on referendum to end military rule

The vote will be held on September 21.

But government officials and supporters have repeatedly called on Doumbouya to stand in the election.


A "transition charter" drawn up shortly after the coup had stipulated that none of its leaders, government members or heads of institutions would be able to run.


On Thursday the president of Guinea's national media regulatory authority, the HAC, declared that news outlets "must not give voice to political parties and organizations in conflict with the law, which are prohibited from operating".


Doing so would be "an offense", he warned.
