The African Union (AU) has followed in the footsteps of the West African bloc to suspend Guinea after last Sunday's military coup in that country.
The AU Political Affairs, Peace and Security Commission (PSC) made the announcement on Friday morning on Twitter, saying the continental bloc has banned Guinea from official business until it returns to constitutional order.
