President John
Dramani Mahama, in his capacity as Chair of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of
State and Government, will this morning be in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso to meet
all the stakeholders in that country.
The visit follows
the receipt of a report from a Joint Mission of ECOWAS, the African Union and
the United Nations that was sent to Burkina Faso. The Mission, which was in
that country from October 30, returned to brief President Mahama last Sunday,
before returning to Ouagadougou on Monday.
President Mahama
approved the recommendations of the Joint Mission and reaffirmed the
subregional group, ECOWAS' support for a peaceful restoration of constitutional
order. He has also been engaging with the stakeholders including the military
and called for a consensual solution in line with the provisions of the
constitution of Burkina Faso.
President Mahama
has invited two of his colleagues, President Macky Sall of Senegal and
President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria to join him on the Mission to Burkina
Faso today.
ECOWAS has assured
Burkina Faso of its readiness to work with them to restore legitimate
transitional order and finding sustainable solutions to the impasse and work
towards organizing free and credible elections.
President Mahama
will return home later today.
