ECOWAS Takes Bold Stand Against Coup Plotters in Niger.

In a decisive move, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has issued a one-week ultimatum for the coup plotters in Niger to relinquish power and restore the democratically elected government. This resolution was reached during an extraordinary session of ECOWAS member states, with President Bola Tinubu presiding as the chairman in Abuja on Sunday.

The military coup in Niger, led by Colonel Major Amadou Abdramane, resulted in the removal of President Mohamed Bazoum from office. In a late-night address on Wednesday, Abdramane dissolved the country’s constitution, suspended all institutions, and closed the borders.

Reading the communique from the extraordinary session, Omar Touray, the president of the ECOWAS commission, reaffirmed the authority’s recognition of Bazoum as the legitimate president of Niger. The administration condemned Bazoum’s detention and called for immediate release and reinstatement.

ECOWAS expressed its firm stance, stating that unless the coup plotters hand over power within the specified one-week period, all necessary measures, including the use of force, will be taken to restore constitutional order in the Republic of Niger.

In the meantime, ECOWAS has implemented stringent sanctions against Niger. All land and air borders between member countries and Niger will be closed. A ‘no-fly zone’ has been instituted for all commercial flights to and from Niger.

Furthermore, all commercial and financial transactions between ECOWAS member states and Niger have been suspended. This includes freezing all service transactions, energy deals, and transactions with financial institutions.

ECOWAS has imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on military officials involved in the coup. The same sanctions apply to the family members of these military officials and civilians who choose to participate in any institution or government established by the coup plotters.

As tensions escalate in Niger, the international community closely monitors the unfolding political crisis and the impact of ECOWAS’ decisive actions on restoring democratic governance.
