The president of Guinea-Bissau and current chairman of ECOWAS, Umaro Sissoco Embalo, has visited Ouagadougou to discuss the time frame for the transition to civilian rule in the country.
At the end of January, Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba overthrew President Roch Marc Kaboré, who was accused of having been unable to curb the jihadist violence, and made the restoration of security his “priority”.
During the visit, the chairman of ECOWAS praised the progress made in the security situation.
