Junta condemned

    ABIDJAN

    ECOWAS and France have condemned the Junta for overthrowing Vieira, saying it was a violation of a peace deal signed between him and Mane, news reports said. That agreement committed both leaders to avoiding conflict and moving the country toward general elections, still slated for 28 November.

    Senegal's Foreign Minister Jacques Baudin told Africa No 1 radio on Friday his nation regretted what was happening in Guinea Bissau.

    Despite the condemnations, Guterres praised Fadul and the Junta for their moderation and their pledge for a democratic order despite Vieira's political demise.
