Ousted Guinean president Alpha Conde is doing well even though his whereabouts remain unknown since he was taken away by an elite unit of the army that deposed him on September 5.
“We have met with him, he looks very well,” Ghana’s Foreign Minister Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey told reporters in Conakry after meeting with Conde and coup leader Mamady Doumbouya.
“Nothing has been discussed yet. What we were asked to do was to come and engage, which we have. After which we will go back and report to the heads of state,” she added.
Conde was last seen in the company of soldiers who arrested him and took him to an undisclosed location.
ECOWAS leaders at a virtual summit earlier this week dispatched three Foreign Ministers to Conakry to engage with all stakeholders.
The three included Ayorkor Botchwey, Alpha Barry of Burkina Faso and Prof Robert Dussey of Togo, ECOWAS Commission President Jean-Claude Kassi Brou, was also part of the delegation.
The events have led to the suspension of Guinea from the regional ECOWAS bloc and from the African Union.
