Ecowas Schedules Fresh Meeting Over Niger Coup as Deadline Elapses.

The Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) has scheduled yet another meeting on the Niger Crisis.

The regional organisation met in Abuja in August and gave the Niger junta seven days to reinstate ousted President Mohamed Bazoum or face sanctions, including possibly military involvement.

Instead of reintroducing Bazoum, the junta severed connections with Nigeria and other countries sympathetic to Bazoum’s cause.

The military dictatorship, which named Commander General Abdourahamane Tchiani as the new head of state, has sworn not to yield to foreign pressure.

It also warned against foreign involvement and vowed to safeguard Niger’s territorial integrity.
