Guinea's ruling military junta has accused the president of the West African regional bloc Ecowas of "lies" over his call for sanctions on Conakry if it seeks a three-year transition back to civilian rule.
Senior junta figure Colonel Amara Camara said Thursday: "Crude lies and intimidation are backward steps that dishonour [Economic Community of West African States chairman Umaro Sissoco Embalo] and at the same time tarnish Ecowas's image."
