afrol News, 14 August - West Africa's economic grouping ECOWAS will send a mission to Guinea-Bissau to identify ways to improve security and development in the country.

Guinea-Bissau - one of the poorest countries in the world - has been caught up in a political crisis, resulting to the nomination of a new government and a prime minister. This followed the replacement of N'Dafa Cabi after he had reportedly clashed with the main PAIGC.

Prime minister Cabi's government - created through a national stability pact - assumed office in March 2007.

Bissau's crisis was also blamed on the offshoot of a purported failed coup attempted led by the navy commander, Jose Americo Bubo Na Tchuto, who has since been removed from office.

Rear Admiral Tchuto, who escaped house arrest in Bissau, has vehemently denied involvement in the coup. He was on Tuesday arrested in The Gambia, but expressed willingness to return home to explain his innocence provided his security is guaranteed.

The international community is deeply concerned about the effect of the foiled coup on the planned 16 November legislative polls in a country synonymous with decades of instability, military coups and economic hardships.
