The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu has condemned the coup attempt in GuineaBissau. In a press statement issued here yesterday, Ihsanoglu noted with grave concern and surprise that this violent action comes at a time when the country has demonstrated its resolve to further entrench democracy through the conduct of peaceful legislative elections. While urging for the end of this pattern of destabilization which has characterized the country's recent past, Ihsanoglu called upon all citizens of GuineaBissau to respect constitutional order and focus on the serious issues of development and progress of their country.
