CONAKRY (Reuters) - Posters on the streets of Guinea's capital Conakry carry the beaming image of President Alpha Conde and a simple message about who will succeed him after next month's election: "After him, it's him again."

The West African country has known only four rulers since independence from France in 1958 and analysts suggest there is little chance of a leadership change in Oct. 11's presidential poll.
