The Economic Community of West African States on Thursday imposed sanctions against the junta in Guinea and those slowing Mali’s post-coup transition.
The imposition of the sanctions is the bloc’s toughest response yet to a run of military takeovers, the News Agency of Nigeria reports. The move was agreed at an emergency summit of ECOWAS in Accra to respond to last week’s coup in Guinea and perceived slow progress towards constitutional rule in Mali following a coup last year.
Regional heads of state decided to freeze the financial assets and impose travel bans on Guinea’s junta members and their relatives, insisting on the release of President Alpha Conde and a short transition. “In six months elections should be held,” said ECOWAS Commission President Jean-Claude Kassi Brou at a briefing.
