Guinea recalls 30 ambassadors, from US to China

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Guinea's ruling junta has recalled 30 ambassadors in cities from Washington to Beijing, nearly five months after seizing power when the West African country's longtime dictator died.
The military junta gave no reason for the diplomatic reshuffle, ordered by a presidential decree read on state television Tuesday night.
Almost all of Guinea's embassies abroad will be affected by the reshuffle, including those in Paris, London, Moscow, Cairo and Pretoria, South Africa. The Guinean representatives to the European Union and African Union were also included.
Those that were not recalled include those in Canada, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Mali, and Angola.
That's kinda odd, though of course Guinea's new dictator has his reasons. Why do you think there was a recall?
