The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has rejected Guinea-Bissau’s military transition plan, demanding a swift return to constitutional order.
The bloc’s leaders, gathered at the 68th Ordinary Session in Abuja, Nigeria, called for the immediate release of detained political figures and an inclusive short transition.
ECOWAS warned of targeted sanctions against individuals or groups obstructing the process, citing the November 23 elections deemed free and transparent by observers.
The bloc’s chair will lead a delegation to Guinea-Bissau for talks with the junta, seeking compliance with ECOWAS demands.
