G Bissau army to return to barracks

Guinea-Bissau's armed forces vowed yesterday to return to their barracks after transitional authorities formed a new government that includes an army officer who participated in the country's April 12 coup.
"Now that the transition government has been formed, the military command (the coup leaders) and the army will return to their barracks," junta spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Daba Na Walna told AFP.
He did not give details on the date and modalities of the withdrawal. It was also not immediately clear whether the military command would eventually be dissolved.
The new government has 14 ministers and 13 junior ministers, including two women.
