The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has declared a state of emergency across the region, citing rising security threats.

President of the ECOWAS Commission, Omar Touray, announced the declaration on Tuesday during the 55th session of the Mediation and Security Council at the ministerial level held in Abuja.

The meeting was convened in response to a series of coups and failed mutinies in the sub-region.

Touray emphasised that the recent developments underscore “the imperative of serious introspection on the future of our democracy and the urgent need to invest in the security of our community.”

West Africa is on the verge of being overun by Jihadist terrorist yet ECOWAS has been silent but now that a coup almost succeeded they have remembered there is insecurity , such selfish people

iwaeda:
There is no need for emergency, all these leaders should purge themselves. Most of them want to perpetuate themselves in power till death.There will be more coups, unless good governance.

Alhassan Quatara is doing 4th term rather than 2. Most of the assemblies are puppets and rubber stamps. People are getting tired. There will be more coups, unless good governance.

Honestly, very foolish set of humans. They are puppets to mainly france. We are getting tired of useless democracy where elections are rigged massively, everything is bad, nothing works, youths are running away from their country. More will come, the region will collapse. u cant keep people like this for ever, they will revolt one day.
