BISSAU, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- The president of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission Marcel Alain de Souza on Sunday began a three-day visit to Guinea Bissau to seek a solution to the prevailing political crisis.
"We are in Bissau to have a better understanding of the current political crisis," de Souza told the media.
During his visit, the president is expected to hold talks with Guinea Bissau president, representatives of political and civil society organizations as well as heads of the ECOWAS forces stationed in the country.
"We shall not impose solutions. These will be found by the people of Guinea Bissau themselves," he said.
Guinea Bissau has been going through a political crisis since the dismissal of the government led by former prime minister Domingos Simoes Pereira on Aug. 12, 2015.
Political analysts believe the current crisis could be overcome if a government of national unity is formed to lead the country to the next presidential elections in 2019.
