SAO TOME (Sao Tome and Principe): The military junta that seized power last week while the President was abroad has accepted the idea of his return, an African envoy said after holdings talks with the junta leaders. ``Since the first hour of the talks, the junta has agreed with the return of the President,'' the Angolan Interior Minister, Oswaldo van Dunen, told reporters on Monday. ``One of the issues that we have to discuss are the conditions for his return.'' Sao Tome and Principe's President, Fradique de Menezes, was visiting Nigeria when the coup took place on Wednesday in this oil-rich but otherwise poor twin-island country off West Africa. He hasn't been allowed to return. Mr. Van Dunen didn't provide details on the conditions of the President's return. The Mozambican President, Joaquim Chissano, said Mr. Menezes could be home within a day. — AP
