Condemning the military coup that ousted Guinean President Alpha Conde, West Africa's main political and economic bloc has suspended the country's membership until it restores constitutional order, according to a CGTN correspondent. 

During a virtual summit on Wednesday, leaders from the 15-member Economic Community of West African States demanded Conde's immediate release and agreed to send a high-level mission to Guinea as soon as Thursday, said Burkina Faso's Foreign Minister Alpha Barry.

No immediate economic sanctions against the country were announced at the summit.
