Guinea's military junta has suspended negotiations with the opposition on the country's political crisis until the return of its wounded leader, a junta spokesman said Wednesday.
Minister of Communications Idrissa Cherif said that the talks meant to find a solution to the country's political stalemate have not been canceled, but will be put on hold for the foreseeable future.
Discussions were underway in neighboring Burkina Faso and mediated by that country's president following the massacre in September that human rights groups say killed at least 157 people.
"We cannot continue when our boss is not here ... The negotiations have been suspended," Cherif said. Asked when Capt. Moussa "Dadis" Camara will return to Guinea, he said: "I do not know when the president will come back. It's up to his doctors."
