West African regional bloc Ecowas will deploy troops to Guinea-Bissau to help stabilise the country after this week’s attempted coup.
The bloc made the announcement after a summit held in Accra, Ghana.
The force will help prevent any attempted coups in future, the bloc said.
Ecowas deployed troops to Guinea-Bissau from 2012 to 2020 after a coup.
President Umaro Sissoco Embaló has said that stability has been restored in the country after the failed coup.
