{"Image ImageDescription": "Soldiers and police officers with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) mission ECOMIB stand guard at the Bissau airport, as Angolan soldiers, who arrived in March 2011 as part of a bilateral military agreement with Guinea-Bissau, load a plane as they prepare to leave the country, on June 6, 2012, in Bissau. Angolan troops, whose presence angered local soldiers and prompted a coup in April, on June 6 began leaving Guinea-Bissau, an AFP journalist witnessed. An Angolan cargo plane left Bissau mid-morning carrying men, tanks and heavy weaponry while an Angolan ship which arrived on Tuesday night loaded armoured vehicles and containers as it prepared to leave for Luanda. An officer with an Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) mission ECOMIB which is replacing the Angolan mission, said the withdrawal will take place over \"five days, at the rythm of the Angolan government.\" AFP PHOTO / ALFA BALDE        (Photo credit should read ALFA BALDE/AFP/GettyImages)", "Image Copyright": "2012 AFP"}
