This morning on Newsfile, host Samson Lardy Anyenini and his panelist discussed the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) proposed military intervention to restore democracy in Niger.
The possibility of a military deployment commissioned by ECOWAS into Niger to reinstate the ousted President Mohamed Bazoum remained firmly on the table during a landmark meeting in Accra on Friday, August 18, 2023.
ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, Abdel-Fatau Musah said that the intent is not to declare war on Niger.
Abdel-Fatau Musah acknowledged that the ECOWAS mission may undertake renewed talks in Niger as an attempt to seek a peaceful resolution on Saturday, August 19.
He said ECOWAS is ready to engage with the junta.
