OUAGADOUGOU, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- Burkina Faso President Blaise Compaore held a meeting on Friday in the capital Ouagadougou with a delegation sent by the Guinean military junta leader, Moussa Dadis Camara, on ways to end the West African country's political crisis.

    The delegation conveyed Camara's message to Compaore, the mediator named by the 16-member Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

    The visit came when the heads of state and government of ECOWAS were set to meet in the Nigerian capital Abuja to analyze the situation in Guinea and Niger.

    Idrissa Cherif, head of the delegation and special advisor to the Guinean junta leader, affirmed after the meeting that he was carrying a message from Camara to President Compaore.

    "We came to meet him and as we spoke when he was in Conackry, he asked us to fulfill some recommendations of which we have come to show him the solutions and the way forward that we have decided on," Cherif said.

    Cherif also declared that Guinea was doing well and that the country was facing more external pressure than internal.

    The Guinean emissary said President Compaore recommended that they should release political prisoners, treat all those who were injured in the Sept. 28 clash and put in place an international inquiry commission.

    "All his recommendations were acted upon," Cherif affirmed.

    Camara's envoy proposed that the actors quickly sit on a round-table negotiation and give priority to discussions.

    While awaiting the decision by the ECOWAS summit on the future of the junta in Guinea, the international community has continued to put pressure on Camara and his government. The African Union has threatened to impose sanctions if Camara does not declare in writing until Saturday his firm promise not to contest in the presidential election set for Jan. 31 2010.
