Guinea has rejoined the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) three years after its suspension following a military coup that ousted President Alpha Condé.

The decision, made this week at a meeting chaired by OIF Secretary-General Louise Mushikiwabo from Rwanda, comes with a call for the country to continue its efforts on human rights and freedoms.

“What was decisive for the member states was noting Guinea’s commitment and willingness to emerge from the crisis and return to constitutional order,” OIF spokesperson Oria Kije Vande Weghe said.
