ECOWAS Mission Head Rejects Leaving Guinea-Bissau with Goodluck Jonathan Amid Military Coup

The ECOWAS Mission Head, Kamara, refused to leave Guinea-Bissau with former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan following a military coup that plunged the country into turmoil. The coup led to the detention of President Umaro Sissoco Embal and the suspension of electoral procedures.

Kamara vowed to stay in Guinea-Bissau to observe the short and medium-term developments. The ECOWAS Commission is arranging an evacuation via charter flight amidst regional pressure for intervention.
