The leaders of the ECOWAS bloc are due to meet virtually today, Wednesday to discuss the Guinea coup and the political transition in Mali.
The prisoners had been opponents of President Alpha Condé, who was ousted by Special Forces under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Mamady Doumbouya and has accused Condé of rampant corruption, human rights abuses and mismanagement.

In another development, the Cape Verde’s Constitutional Court has ordered the extradition of Venezuelan Envoy Alex Saab, who is been accused of money laundering and corruption.
