ECOWAS Removes Sanctions on Guinea Following 2021 Coup
(MENAFN) The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) announced on Wednesday that it has lifted all remaining sanctions against Guinea, originally imposed after the 2021 military coup, according to a statement from the bloc.
The decision was made by ECOWAS’s Authority of Heads of State and Government following a summit in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone.
The statement noted that a presidential election held last December, along with the legal transfer of power to the elected government of President Mamadi Doumbouya, has “created an atmosphere conducive to the restoration of democratic governance and respect for the rule of law in Guinea.”
“All sanctions taken against the Republic of Guinea in the context of facilitating the restoration of constitutional order are hereby lifted,” the statement said, signed by Julius Maada Bio, ECOWAS chair and president of Sierra Leone.
ECOWAS suspended Guinea and imposed sanctions in 2021 following the coup, but the bloc said these measures “have become irrelevant” after the successful completion of the country’s transition process.
The move fully reintegrates Guinea into ECOWAS’s decision-making structures. The organization also called on the government to strengthen efforts to consolidate democracy, uphold good governance, and maintain the rule of law.
