CONAKRY, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Guinea's unions suspended their 18-day-old general strike on Saturday after finalising an agreement with the government to appoint a consensus prime minister and reduce the prices of fuel and rice.

"The union association has decided to suspend the strike this Saturday, January 27, and invites all Guineans to return to work," Ibrahima Fofana, leader of USTG union federation, told a meeting.

People walk on a street in Conakry February 24, 2007. There were fewer soldiers on the streets of Guinea's capital on Saturday after martial law ended overnight, but many Conakry residents fear trouble next week after the army ordered an end to a nationwide strike.
