Guinea's ruling junta on Monday signalled it might break a deadline to set out its plans to return to civilian rule, opening up the prospect of more sanctions from West Africa's political and economic bloc.
There was no immediate announcement from the military rulers of Burkina Faso who were facing the same Monday deadline to present "acceptable" plans to hand back power to civilians after their January coup.
West Africa has been rocked by two coups in Mali, one in Guinea and one in Burkina Faso since August 2020.
