AU to impose sanctions on Guinea's leaders
The African Union said in a statement late Thursday that sanctions will be implemented within a week. The decision was made in Abuja, Nigeria at a meeting of the AU's second-highest decision making body, the Peace and Security Council. The council had warned last month that it would impose sanctions if Guinea's military junta did not clearly state they would not run in elections scheduled for Jan. 31, 2010. Capt. Moussa "Dadis" Camara seized power hours after longtime dictator Lansana Conte died last December. Camara initially said he would not run in elections, but later hinted he may run. 2009-10-30 09:47:14 GMT
