The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has suspended Guinea-Bissau from all its activities pending the restoration of full and effective constitutional order.
ECOWAS leaders have also established a high-level Mediation Mission, led by Sierra Leone’s President Julius Maada Bio, to engage with the coup leaders.
The bloc has condemned the military coup, demanding the unconditional release of detained civilian leaders and the restoration of constitutional order, and has called for the National Electoral Commission to declare the results of the November 23 elections.
