West African leaders (ECOWAS) sanctions Guinea junta | Africanews

The Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) has decided to impose sanctions on individuals in the military government of Guinea in response to last year's coup in Conakry.

The leaders from the bloc met in New York where they were attending the UN General Assembly.
They agreed at the emergency summit Thursday to impose gradual sanctions on Guinea's junta over its inflexibility in setting a date to return to civilian rule.

A meeting summary said that the leaders agreed on "gradual sanctions" on a list of people linked to the Guinean junta who will be identified "very soon" by the bloc's leadership.
