    Meanwhile Vieira and Mane were due to meet today in the Togolese capital, Lome, news agencies reported. The two men were expected to hold talks with Togo’s President, Gnassingbe Eyadema, the current chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Authorities in Lome said they would thank Eyadema for his efforts to find a solution to the crisis in Guinea Bissau, where an ECOWAS-brokered peace accord is being implemented, AFP reported. Fresh elections are planned under the peace proposal although the timing remains unclear.
