Mamadou Dian Donghol Diallo, AfricaNews reporter in Conakry, Guinea
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has ordered the military in Guinea to step down and hand power to a civilian administration.
Meanwhile the coalition of opposition parties which operates under the banner of "Forces Vive" has affirmed the urgent need for the National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD, the body formed by the junta) to cede power, and for the creation of a transitional authority to rule Guinea, as agreed by an international contact group and by ECOWAS heads of state in October.

AfricaNews reporter Mamadou Dian Donghol Diallo said it is business as usual in the West African state after the assassination attempt on the junta leader Captain Moussa Dadis Camara. He was shot but was rushed for medical treatment in Morocco.

An AllAfrica.com report quoted an unnamed diplomat to have said that a broken bone pierced Camara's brain and doctors are not sure whether he is going to make a full recovery.
