The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has warned member states whose actions are affecting the peaceful resolution of the crisis in Niger.
The Authority of Heads of State and Governments ECOWAS gave this warning at the Extraordinary Session in Abuja, Nigeria on 10th August 2023.
The Extraordinary Summit was convened as a sequel to the recent one held on 30th July 2023, following what ECOWAS describes as the illegal detention of President Mohamed BAZOUM by the members of the Presidential Guard in the Republic of Niger on 26th July 2023.
The communique issued by the Authority reiterates its strong condemnation of the attempted coup d’etat and the continued illegal detention of President Mohammed Bazoam, his family and members of his government.
“Warn member states who by their action directly or indirectly, hindered the peaceful resolution of the crisis in Niger about the consequences for their action before the community.
“Uphold all measures and principles agreed upon by the extra ordinary Summit held on Niger on 30th July 2023.”
