Yala gets OAU support

    ABIDJAN

    OAU Secretary-General Salim Ahmed Salim has pledged “support and solidarity” to Guinea-Bissau’s president in the aftermath of the country’s recent political crisis, PANA reported.

    It said OAU special-envoy Daniel Antonio delivered the message to President Kumba Yala on Monday. Salim said the OAU had begun consultations with donors to support post-conflict national reconciliation.

    Yala recently survived an insurrection by former army chief Gen Ansumane Mane. The government reported on 30 November that Mane had died in clashes with loyalist troops.

    The OAU’s Central Organ on the Mechanism for the Prevention, Management and Settlement of Conflicts had strongly condemned the insurrection.
