Freetown, Sierra Leone — Sierra Leone’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Alhaji Musa Timothy Kabba, has arrived in Guinea-Bissau to lead a high-level ECOWAS delegation on a mission to support the Transitional Government in its efforts to restore constitutional order and democratic governance following the military takeover of November 26, 2025.
The delegation’s visit is a crucial step in the ongoing efforts to stabilize Guinea-Bissau and ensure a peaceful and inclusive transition to democracy. During their discussions with the transitional authorities, the ECOWAS delegation emphasized the importance of inclusive dialogue and the release of political prisoners as key elements for a smooth transition. Minister Kabba, representing the Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, President Julius Maada Bio of Sierra Leone, and President Bassirou Diomaye Faye of Senegal, commended the Transitional Government for its commitment to a brief transition period, with general elections scheduled for December 6, 2026.
The delegation’s mission also aimed to assess progress towards the restoration of constitutional governance and to strengthen regional support for the political transition in Guinea-Bissau.
The visit comes amidst growing concerns about political instability in the country, which has experienced a history of military coups and political turmoil. ECOWAS has maintained close engagement with developments in Guinea-Bissau, consistently advocating for a swift return to constitutional rule, a time-bound transition, and the restoration of a civilian-led government.
The delegation’s discussions with the transitional authorities were centered on the need for inclusive dialogue and the release of political prisoners to facilitate a smooth transition.
The visit underscores the commitment of the regional bloc to the stability and development of Guinea — Bissau and the broader West African region.
The mission’s outcomes will be closely monitored by both regional and international actors, as the future of Guinea-Bissau and its people hangs in the balance.
