A source at the Guinean presidency and an official with ECOWAS said West African mediators were in Guinea Wednesday for talks with the ruling junta on a return to civilian rule. Colonel Mamady Doumbouya, who seized power last September, has pledged to restore civilian rule within three years.
As Atiewin Mbillah-Lawson reports, the delegation held discussions with Colonel Mamady Doumbouya and a few transitional government officials and left without meeting any political actors or civil society.
