In Guinea-Bissau, religious leaders have launched this morning a call for reflection on the instiutional criste born earlier this week. The country currently has two prime ministers, two governments, while the campaign for the presidential election of November 24 began this weekend. The delegation of the ECOWAS visiting Bissau made a complete tour of the table meeting the protagonists and convenes an extraordinary summit.
A new appointment is made. It will be November 8 in Niamey, Niger, an extraordinary summit of the ECOWAS on the political situation in Guinea-Bissau.
In his statement Sunday night, Niger's Foreign Minister Kalla Ankourao, who led the delegation to Bissau, reaffirmed very clearly the position of the West African organization, namely: its full support for the Government of Aristides Gomes and the illegal nature of the presidential decree that removed this government.
The delegation met President José Mário Vaz on Sunday morning in a climate of defiance because the head of state spoke last Thursday of an "international guardianship", he was very determined to appoint a new team and this despite the disavowal of ECOWAS.
The meeting between the ECOWAS delegation and the president lasted about half an hour, Kalla Ankoura said. An appointment, we imagine, in a tense climate, before the candidate José Mário Vaz does not start his campaign.
José Mário Vaz is expected in any case in Niamey next Friday for this extraordinary summit announced.
