West African leaders on Thursday imposed sanctions on Guinea's coup leaders and called for elections in six months in a demand for a quick return to civilian rule after troops ousted President Alpha Conde this month.
The 15-member ECOWAS regional bloc had already suspended Guinea after Conde's ouster on September 5 by a special forces commander who captured the president and declared a political transition.
