No, it is not practicing democracy, that's why you can be shining dirty teeth, talking as you like and still moving freely.

The idiot should go to Sudan to see what democracy is, people just talk anyhow coz they have freedom which is what democracy portrays, u have time answering the mumu.

Spineless ECOWAS still indirectly begging them.
Ordinarily, there should be a new negotiation when a country leave an economic union.

All UK's EU's privileges were revoked when it left, same thing should happen to
those land-locked state and not appeasing them.

With this position, ECOWAS just signal that it is a completely
fruitless organization that offers no advantage to being a member.
Any member that also wants to leave can now leave since all their privileges will be
maintained.

Did you read the part where withdrawal is effective one year after notice?
Did you also realize that UK didn't just withdraw but it was on board for some time and a time frame was set?
U are all specialists in everything on social media.

ECOWAS know that if they try such thing on citizens from these Francophone countries their government will respond by imposing a NO FLY ZONE across their territory.

Nigeria aircraft destined for Europe can not fly through Niger republic airspace.

And aircraft from Nigeria will have to fly through Benin-Togo-Ghana Airspace passing through Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Gambia to Senegal before crossing to Europe in the Sky.

That will be a very long distance.

Somehow your version of ECOWAS happens to be only Nigeria.
You think those countries are as f00Iish as most of you think?
If they impose a "No fly Zone" on ECOWAS, how will aircraft get into their own country?
How will some of import goods or have electricity?
The lack of sense in you lots because of politics is really funny.

Hmm. NFZ is a double edged sword. How do they get into their own country?

How do they gain access to ports since they are all landlocked?

And how do they want to implement that against a
country with the largest air force in the region?

And even if all this were to be possible or feasible which it is not, NG aircraft do have a northward passage to Europe through Chad.

Don't let your enthusiasm run away with you. 😊

On the norm , a referendum will be held to ascertain if a country wants to leave a bloc.
Of course , a referendum cannot happen in a country run by military junta .

This isn't about personal issues and appeals but institutional strength and integrity.
Any organization that grants the same rights to both current and ex-members has
lost its reason for existing.

ECOWAS is an international union and not ethnic enclave.
It would have been better if ECOWAS pretended to renegotiate the trade deals
with the ex-members and end up conferring them with most of the existing privileges
than the blanket rights extended to ex-members.

It cost the UK billions of dollars to leave the EU along with revoked privileges,
but ECOWAS ex-members are making gains and keeping all membership privileges.

Well ECOWAS is not the EU. If this were to be Ghana, Ivory Coast or Senegal leaving, then ECOWAS may decide to be as harsh as the EU to make them reap the consequences. But Niger, Mali, Bfaso, are all landlocked countries already struggling with armed conflict that affects their neighbours. Isolating them won’t be in the region’s best interest.

Re: Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali Have Left, But Citizens’ Privileges Remain – ECOWAS by Blazetrailer: 6:47pm On Jan 29, 2025

Biggest blunder by ECOWAS.....under the keadership of the drug bagman...imagine

When the Niger coup happen, credible and respected multilateral bodies with integrity, sound leadedship and purpose (both AU and UN) only called out for calm,security and reasoning in resolving the issue....but one useless and irrelevant body, led by one certificate forger,in the fit of cluelessness and gragra,rushed to impose sanctions, even threatened to invade Niger and gonti wat with them in order to restire an unpular government....only to roll back the sanctions because they were ineffective and eve begged Niger to come back to ECOWAS after the suspension.

The damage and final death of ECOWAS was under the criminal clalled Tinubu as the Chariman...

Re: Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali Have Left, But Citizens’ Privileges Remain – ECOWAS by Blazetrailer: 6:49pm On Jan 29, 2025

These three Francophone countries deserve much accolades for bravely standing up to and challenging Western European neocolonial ambitions and exiting the increasingly useless ECOWAS which is becoming a puppet in the West's hands.
If it's possible,they should totally remove French language as a working language, not only removing it as official language.
But it may take much time being that French language is the Lingua Franca of different ethnic groups within the countries.

Your analysis is brief and spot on. ECOWAS as a sub national BLOC needs to sit down and redefine her responsibilities and position within the West African Sub region. This stance truly makes ECOWAS somehow useless. Dire times lie ahead if the BLOC Continues in this docile direction.

The big difference is that these ECOWAS members pulling out are military juntas, they don't have the referendum of their citizens. So, it is wise for ECOWAS to open the channels for a return of democratic rule in those countries.

You just ended up saying nothing; where is the truth you want to kiss? Flying brown..

nice move....

Despite the withdrawal, the bloc said citizens of the three countries would continue to enjoy certain regional benefits. “In the spirit of regional solidarity and in the interest of the people, all relevant authorities within and outside ECOWAS Member States are requested to recognize national passports and identity cards bearing the ECOWAS logo held by citizens of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, until further notice,” the statement read.

we need brothers around us no matter how they are doing their business....
