A senior delegation of ECOWAS, led by Commission President Jean-Claude Kassi Brou, is in Guinea’s capital, Conakry, for a three day visit, to meet with the authorities and take further stock of the situation.
The visit comes almost two months after ECOWAS suspended Guinea’s membership following a coup in the country in early September.
Kassi Brou said the transition has produced a charter, important appointments have been made, and the government is gradually being set up.
He added that they would also determine to what extent ECOWAS can provide practical support to the process underway.
Representing the government, Morissanda Kouyaté, Guinean Minister of Foreign Affairs said they expect a lot from ECOWAS, its accompaniment, and its support and expressed optimism of fruitful discussions.
On September 5th, a military uprising led by Mamady Doumbouya overthrew President Alpha Condé, dismissed the governmentnand announced a transitional charter.
Doumbouya was sworn in as transitional president on October 1st and pledged to respect the country’s international commitments.
