ABUJA, Nigeria — West African leaders said Saturday that they are imposing an arms embargo on Guinea after soldiers there fatally shot pro-democracy demonstrators and will try to stop Guinea’s military ruler from running in January’s presidential election.
Regional leaders attended an emergency meeting Saturday of ECOWAS, the Economic Community of West African States, and said afterward that they would step up pressure on the ruling junta members not to seek office.
Capt. Moussa “Dadis” Camara seized power in a coup in December. He initially said he would not run in the January elections, but recently indicated that he may have changed his mind.
