Guinea-Bissau’s military government has set a date for new elections following the ousting of President Umaro Sissoco Embalo in a coup late last year, according to a statement by the army leader.
“All the conditions for organising free, fair and transparent elections have been met,” said a decree read on Wednesday by Major-General Horta Inta-a.
Regional powers Ecowas had previously warned junta head Horta N'Tam against such a long wait for elections.
