The West African regional bloc ECOWAS has removed all outstanding sanctions imposed against Guinea following the 2021 coup, after last month’s election of former junta leader Mamady Doumbouya.
ECOWAS imposed a raft of sanctions on the mineral-rich but poor country after Doumbouya ousted President Alpha Condé.
In February 2024, ECOWAS eased some of those sanctions lifting the restrictions on financial transactions with its member institutions.
