W Africa bloc suspends post-coup Burkina

West African leaders on Friday decided to suspend Burkina Faso from the regional  bloc following a coup, but will not impose other sanctions pending the outcome of talks with the junta.

Conferring four days after the latest military takeover in their region, heads of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) agreed to send two missions to Ouagadougou, a participant at their summit said.
