The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) suspended Guinea from its bodies in reaction to the military seizure of power in Conakry on Sunday, Burkina Faso Foreign Minister Alpha Barry announced on Wednesday.

The leaders of the community bloc also demanded the release of President Alpha Condé, held by the putschists, and decided to send a high-ranking delegation on Thursday to Guinea, said Alpha Barry following a virtual meeting of the institution.
