Ibn Chambas withdraws as ECOWAS envoy to Guinea

Special Envoy of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to Guinea, Dr. Mohammed Ibn Chambas has communicated his intention to withdraw as a mediator to the West African State.

Guinea, whose junta has refused an ECOWAS mediator announced a 36-month transition period and has conditioned any dialogue towards a successful transfer of power to a constitutionally recognized head of state on the appointment of another ECOWAS mediator.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the 61st Ordinary Session of the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government on Sunday, July 3, 2022, in Accra, Dr. Ibn Chambas said his decision to step down is to pave way for a successful dialogue to take place for Guinea to return to constitutional democratic rule.

Dr . Ibn Chambas was appointed in November last year as Special Envoy to Guinea to strengthen dialogue with the Guinean military authority towards the successful and short transitional process.
