EU imposes sanctions on Guinea-Bissau coup leaders


The European Union has imposed targeted sanctions on six coup leaders in the West African country of Guinea-Bissau.
They include a freeze on assets and a travel ban on the leaders who took power in a 12 April coup.
The move comes as the West African regional bloc Ecowas meets in Senegal to discuss what other actions to take against junta leaders in Guinea-Bissau and Mali.
Ecowas had already imposed sanctions on Guinea-Bissau earlier this week.
