Sao Tome coup-leaders dissolve state bodies
The leaders of a military coup in Sao Tome and Principe have announced the dissolution of all state bodies and set up a "junta of national salvation", Portuguese television reported, citing state television in the west African island nation. "All the sovereign organs of the country are dissolved," the new junta said in a communique read by a journalist surrounded by soldiers. "Their former title-holders are under the tutelage of the junta and their full physical integrity is assured. "The military junta of national salvation will announce in the coming hours the organs and entities that will lead the destiny of the country during the transition period," the statement said.
