Nigeria is the powerhouse of ecowas, it’ll primarily be them conducting a war. And all major figures in Nigeria not in Tinubu’s cabinet are dead set against a war. He already got rejected by the senate, but if Tinubu drags the country to war anyways it’ll likely set Northern Nigeria on fire. Any army going in to Niger will have to deal with chaos in their supply lines and potentially homefront insurgencies, on top of being already unmotivated over conducting a war too many people believe is on the behest of France. In all likelihood the Niger junta would fall, but the effects would be catastrophic for the region. Ecowas isn’t going to gain any international clout for potentially doubling the migration crisis into Europe |

>IF E.C.O.W.A.S. goes in and the operation goes well It won't go well. On top of that, they have 0.0001% chance of reinstating Bazoum, and even if they do, he won't last a week. So not only is it going to create a total freaking disaster, but it also won't achieve the stated objective. = Anyone who ever set foot in this area of the world knows it is a bad idea and that it would wreck havoc. Of course the ECOWAS military chiefs know that. The ECOWAS heads of state also know that. The main reason they keep on talking about it, is to send a strong political signal that a coup is not OK. This is about making sure that a coup does not happen in their own country and that their own Presidents and their families do not end up in a dungeon somewhere. But they know a military intervention would be a disaster of biblical proportions for Niger, North West Africa and also southern Europe. Nobody wants that in Africa. |

Article: - **West African army chiefs discuss Niger coup response** - **Heads of state ordered standby force to be assembled** - **Official: most ECOWAS members ready to participate** - **Niamey residents back coup leaders, criticise ECOWAS** ACCRA/NIAMEY, Aug 17 (Reuters) - The West African bloc ECOWAS stands ready to intervene militarily in Niger should diplomatic efforts to reverse a coup there fail, a senior official told army chiefs who were meeting in Ghana on Thursday to discuss the details of a standby force. Niger military officers deposed President Mohamed Bazoum on July 26 and have defied calls from the United Nations, ECOWAS and Western powers to reinstate him, prompting West African heads of state to order the standby force to be assembled. "Let no one be in doubt that if everything else fails, the valiant forces of West Africa...are ready to answer to the call of duty," ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security Abdel-Fatau Musah said. "By all means available, constitutional order will be restored in the country," he told assembled defence chiefs from member countries, listing past ECOWAS deployments in Gambia, Liberia and elsewhere as examples of readiness. Niger has strategic importance beyond West Africa because of its role as a hub for foreign troops involved in the fight against Islamist insurgents in the Sahel region and its uranium and oil reserves. Western countries fear the junta could follow the lead of neighbouring Mali, where the military government threw out French troops and instead invited in mercenaries from Russia's Wagner group, which has welcomed the coup in Niger. In Niger's capital Niamey, where large crowds have taken part in protests against ECOWAS and in favour of the coup leaders, residents rejected the idea of an outside intervention to reinstate the elected president and civilian government. "I'm not afraid because I know our armed forces are well prepared to deal with any eventuality," said radio technician Omar Yaye. "ECOWAS is manipulated by foreign powers. When we see the reactions of France since the coup and especially the harshness of ECOWAS I can only think that these are coordinated actions between France and ECOWAS," he said, echoing anti-French rhetoric used by the junta since the coup. **'CAT AND MOUSE'** France, Niger's former colonial ruler, has denied the junta's accusation that it was seeking to destabilise the country or that it had violated its airspace. It has said it supported ECOWAS efforts to restore constitutional order. French troops, along with U.S., German and Italian forces, are present in Niger as part of international efforts to combat the Islamist insurgents who have caused thousands of deaths and forced millions to flee their homes over the past decade. |

I mean it’s not a good situation regardless, your guaranteed destabilization if you do nothing. If they do nothing the insurgencies, refuges and crime will get worse and spread(as we saw with mark and Burkin Faso), Russia will have even more power to operate in the region, and this sends a message to every general in the region that being a military dictator can work. Overall I view the African Union stopping it would be like France/Germany saying the Eastern Europe should do nothing as Ukraine is invaded by Russia, this is a west African problem and west Africa should lead. |

Yea some people don't seem to realize that if the remaining ECOWAS states don't do anything, this would embolden other military leaders in their own countries to launch their own coups too. And the extra Islamists around their borders doesn't help either. |

Truth be told Nigerian army is a total joke. It’s a small broke state with near inexistant military. Putschists expectation that the whole army which was until recently under the authority of a democratic government is going to fight to death to defend them against an international coalition is either completely delusional or a bluff. Most of the military will scramble at the first air strike and the putchists will flee to Mali |
