The Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) has lifted sanctions it imposed against Mali following an August 18 putsch that ousted President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita.

The 15-nation bloc – which includes Mali – had, on August 19 said that it would suspend the country from its internal decision-making bodies, close land and air borders, until there is the formation of a unity Government and a demand for "sanctions on the putschists and their collaborators."

Recall that a transitional Government was sworn in a fortnight ago.

Congrats, Mali

op why you COMMENT first BE VERY CAREFUL

ECOWAS IS IRRELEVANT BY THE WAY

This is a face saving measure by ECOWAS. They posed no threat to the Malians.

Who takes ECOWAS serious this days?

Bunch of corrupt leaders ruling over failed States

ECOWAS, definition of a toothless dog

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

you don't force a people to adopt democracy, when it's obvious democracy doesn't work.

see how the Chinese model is becoming an alternative to the west.

it's obvious democracy is a failed project.

just as most contries we're quickly swapping to the communist and socialist alternative in the past, people will adopt the Chinese model when the time comes.

We hear!

Africa... Our mumu don do

way to go.



DEMOCRACY IS NOT BY FORCE

No matter how bad civilian government is, its still far better than Military regime!

Just look at how bad we are suffering in this regime in Nigeria.

Coup can succeed in Nigeria too

very commendable.sometimes u just have to counter violence for violence or they use u catch cruise.mali Sha get away.no fear.

Congratulations to Mali coup plotters. Congratulations to Malians. This is victory from the very first day of the successful coup

The response from international community suggests they are not happy with the way mali has been liberated

Why did ECOWAS sanction them in the first place

Ecowas should pls b look into internal issues like terrorism, bandits, and the daily load of people dying in Nigeria per day and declare Nigeria a failed state.... Congrats Mali
