Guinea recaptures former escaped leader.

Guinean authorities announced they have recaptured the former leader of the military junta after an armed group stormed his prison and freed him.

Guinea's Ministry of Defence announced on November 4th that authorities had recaptured Moussa Dadis Camara, the leader of the military junta from 2008-2010, along with two former senior officers, Moussa Tiegboro Camara and Blaise Gomou, following their prison escape. The three were returned to Maison Centrale de Conakry, a prison in Guinea's capital.

The remaining escaped prisoner is former Colonel Claude Pivi, who has not yet been apprehended. "We are deploying all measures to hunt down the last escaped prisoner," the Guinean Ministry of Defense announced.
