The one week deadline that the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) handed the military coupists has elapsed.

Last week, the regional body gave the junta seven days to reinstate ousted President Mohamed Bazoum and restore democratic order.


While Gen Abdourahmane Tchiani-led junta has remained defiant, ECOWAS spearheaded by Nigeria also remains silent as to what should be its next line of action.

Stakeholders have cautioned President Bola Tinubu to tread softly in the use of force against Nigeria’s neighboring Niger.


In his efforts as the Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, Tinubu sent a high-powered delegation to broker peace with Tchiani, this week, but it was deadlock.

Also, the Senate did not approve the letter the President wrote, to seek its consent in mobilising and deploying Nigerian soldiers to Niger.

However, the position of the West is clear on Niger crisis, as the United States, France, and Germany, all backed Tinubu-chaired West African regional bloc to use force.

These European countries have not only evacuated their nationals in Niger, they also partially or completely suspended financial to the country.

As the world awaits what will be the next move of ECOWAS, the United States currently has some 1,000 soldiers stationed in the country, Germany has a continent of roughly 100 troops on the ground, according to some European media.

The situation in Niger reflects that of Mali, which also saw foreign soldiers ordered out of the country after a military coup in 2021.

Neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso — which saw a military coup in 2022 — have both pledged their support to Niger’s should ECOWAS make good on its threat of military intervention.


Meanwhile, Nigeria has the clout to fight Niger economically, as it has closed border and cut power supply, and more sanctions could be taken as days go by with all efforts to return the country to democracy.

Who wan face Wagner before?

People wey never chop belleful

Load them with More Stricter Sanctions so they can feel the Heat very well.

Niger cannot defeat Nigeria or ECOWAS even with Wagner Group's 50k men whose 20k gas already died in Ukraine. So, if Nigeria and ECOWAS suddenly change their mind about military intervention in the matter, it doesn't mean weakness, it's just wisdom, because maybe Niger Republic is seen as brothers rather than enemies.

imagine

Europeans want this war so bad i wonder why .
Whats their own
All the money they spending in Ukraine they want to get back from Africa land of free stuff.

If you care to read the communique,
military intervention is the last resort if all sanctions failed. ECOWAS will have to wait to see the effectiveness of the sanctions imposed first.

They are illiterate if not they could have known that 60% of population in Niger Republic are northerners

YOU SEEM TO BE INCITING TROUBLE. ECOWAS DIDN'T THREATEN NIGER JUNTA BUT MERELY ADVISED THEM OF CONSEQUENCES OF WHICH FIGHT IS AN OPTION.
