CONAKRY, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Guinean President Lansana Conte on Friday dismissed his most powerful minister, Fode Bangoura, meeting one of the demands of unions paralysing the country in a general strike.

Conte said in a decree on state radio that Bangoura, previously his minister in charge of presidential affairs, had been replaced by minister of planning Eugene Camara.

Guinean President Lansana Conte declared martial law in the West African country on Monday to curb a wave of violent protests lead by unions opposed to his 23-year rule. Martial law in Guinea forbids all public meetings, empowers the military to arrest anyone they believe threatens state security and imposes a strict curfew.
