The Economic Community of West Africa State (ECOWAS) has condemned the Guinea coup as they call on the coup leaders to immediately release their embattled President Alpha Condé.
In a statement signed by the Chairperson of the ECOWAS Authority Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said: “ECOWAS notes with great concern the recent political developments which have occurred in Conakry, capital of the Republic of Guinea. ECOWAS condemns unreservedly the attempted coup of Sunday, September 5, 2021.
“ECOWAS demands respect for the physical safety of the President of the Republic, Professor Alpha Condé, and his immediate and unconditional release, as well as that of all arrested persons. ECOWAS also demands a return to constitutional order on pain of sanctions.
“ECOWAS reaffirms its objection to any unconstitutional political change. We ask the Guinean defense and security forces to remain in a constitutional posture, and express our solidarity with the Guinean people and their Government.”
Soldiers who staged an uprising in Guinea’s capital on Sunday said they have dissolved the constitution and the government in an apparent coup.
However, according to the coup makers, they have planned to form a transitional government.
