Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Africanews: A bloc of West African nations began deploying a stabilisation force to Guinea-Bissau Monday after the country was thrown into turmoil when its president escaped a coup attempt in February.<\/p>\n

The Guinea-Bissau Stabilisation Support Mission comprises some 600 troops from Nigeria, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Ghana, according to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) bloc.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will cover the whole country,\u201d the mission\u2019s military chief Mohammed Alhassan said. The mission will last one year and is renewable, said General Francis Behanzin, ECOWAS commissioner for political affairs, peace and security.<\/p>\n

President Umaro Sissoco Embalo escaped a February 1 coup attempt that left 11 people dead. ECOWAS decided the same week to send a stabilisation force.<\/p>\n

The bloc had already deployed a force for stability and security in Guinea-Bissau after the April 2012 coup that overthrew prime minister Carlos Gomes Junior, who was the favourite to win the presidential election.<\/p>\n

The force of more than 1,000 soldiers and police officers left the country in September 2020 at the end of its mandate, having ensured the country\u2019s stability for eight years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the same mission\u2026 since the situation has not completely stabilised,\u201d Behanzin said.<\/p>\n
