President Blaise Campaore has held discussions with his ECOWAS counterparts on the present situation in Guinea during the TICAD IV conference in Yokohama, Japan.
The meeting expressed great concern about reported unrest by elements of the Armed Forces of Guinea which put at risk the safety and security of the civilian population and posed a grave threat to the fragile peace in the entire Mano River Union area.
They appealed to all Guineans to act with a high sense of responsibility and to desist from any actions likely to plunge their country and its neighbours into conflict and instability
In attendance were Presidents John Kufuor of Ghana, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia, Ernest Bai Koroma of Sierra Leone, Vice President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria and the President of the ECOWAS Commission, Dr. Mohamed Ibn Chambas
