The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has suspended Guinea’s membership in the bloc.
The decision was taken on Wednesday in a virtual meeting following the coup stated on Sunday by the armed forces..
ECOWAS “has decided to suspend Guinea from all of its decision-making bodies,” Burkina Faso’s Foreign Minister Alpha Barry said after the leaders from the 15-member bloc discussed the coup situation.
Barry said the bloc called on the coup leaders to release detained President Alpha Conde.
ECOWAS encouraged Guinea “to put in place a process that will allow a rapid return to normal constitutional order.”
ECOWAS is expected to send a mediation mission to Guinea’s capital, Conakry, on Thursday.
