BISSAU, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Guinea-Bissau's military rulers have banned protests and strikes as they tighten control ahead of a high-level visit by West Africa's ECOWAS bloc that is seeking to restore constitutional order following last week's coup.
The military government, which seized power in what some West African leaders have termed a "sham" coup, announced late on Sunday that all demonstrations, strikes and activities regarded as threats to peace and stability were prohibited.
