Ecowas military mission personnel have started to land in Guinea Bissau, the government's spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.
In February, Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) agreed to deploy a military mission to Guinea Bissau following a “failed” coup attempt. After the decision, some civil society organisations and political parties were against the deployment, arguing that parliament should first agree on the matter.
