Guinea's dirty dancing backlash

Men in Guinea's capital have begun attacking women who they accuse of doing the popular buttock-swinging Wolosso dance from Ivory Coast.

Teenagers wearing skirts or hipsters, associated with Wolosso, which partly expose their buttocks and midriff have been stripped naked and beaten up.



The attacks follow a performance by an Ivorian Wolosso group last week.

The provocative dance is considered by many in the mainly Muslim West African country to be pornographic.
