The junta that seized power in Sao Tome and Principe will likely sign an agreement on Wednesday on restoring constitutional order to the small west African island state, international mediators said.
Negotiations in the wake of last week’s coup in Sao Tome and Principe broke up on Tuesday as international mediators began studying proposals made by the new military junta.
Among the rebels negotiating with international mediators in the wake of the military coup in Sao Tome and Principe are three who once belonged to one of the most feared units that fought in apartheid-era South Africa.
Sao Tome’s military junta and international mediators prepared to resume talks early on Monday after seven ministers and a legal adviser detained since a coup last week were allowed to return home.
