more in bold and you know, after the curfew that they put in place into the country, it listed a demand among them. of course there there restating what they've mentioned before . a national television, which is the dissolution of the national assembly, the dissolution of the constitution. and most importantly though, it's calling on civil servants to get back to work as early as tomorrow morning at 77 am. civil servants will be expected to be back in their offices to continue the work at hand. the governors, the regional governors of guinea, which have quite a lot of sway in each various regions of guinea. the 5 other regions, while they've all been replaced by military commanders, local officials, have also been replaced by officers of the army. according to this 8 point statement at 11 o'clock, for ministers and government officials have been called to make their way to the

he mentioned that the president should be respected, and that's something that sits really uncomfortable uncomfortably among as many heads of state in the region. many of them who have, who are looking to run for another term, maybe are looking at changing the constitution, seeing what has happened in guinea in what has happened last year in molly, where there was another military successful military take over. they don't want to see soldiers in the region emboldened to take over power from civilian authority. that sets a dangerous precedent. so there were strong words and the call from a cooper for a return to constitutional order. or else there will be sanctions imposed on guinea already the borders of guinea with its neighbors have been sealed off by the decree leader. there's also been calls from the african union for a condemnation. and also for the return in the, for the president of the day to be freed. and just now

a statement also from the kid, i'll say, the french foreign ministry joining in saying again that they want to see a return to civilian rule. and they want to see african day free. now, whether that's going to happen or not, that's a very unlikely given the position which the, the new authority encounter is. what's interesting to see as is the night unfold is how much sway, and i know they're in control of the capital guinea and the capital, sorry, couldn't creek, but how much sway do they have over the region to, for regions of and the record which is closer to the border of liberia or the far north, you'll be interesting to see if the commanders and the local state authorities that there will follow the orders put forward by this by the crew leaders in place co creek. marian, thank you so much. west africa cars, one it nicholas reporting on those events from the car, senegal. thanks, nick. want to get more on this story now from use of bar journalist and guineas capital. conduct korean, as we were hearing from nick there. mounting international calls for the release of
