Prime minister outlines recovery programme

The prime minister, Francisco Fadul, has meanwhile outlined his programme of recovery at the parliamentary session, the BBC reported. Fadul told deputies his priority was to accelerate the return to their homes of more than 250,000 people displaced by the fighting and reaffirmed his government's commitment to hold elections towards the end of the year. One of the conditions of the peace agreement signed last year by Vieira and Mane was a promise of fresh elections.
