Again, ECOWAS Delegation Led By Ex-Military Ruler, Abdulsalami Fails To Meet Niger Junta.

On Saturday, a delegation from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) failed to meet the leader of the Niger military junta, General Abdourahamane Tchiani.

The delegation led by former Nigerian Military Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd.), was received by Prime Minister Ali Lamine Zeine.

Earlier in August, a team from the regional bloc ECOWAS, also led by Abubakar, left the Republic of Niger without meeting the junta leader, which seized power in a coup or the deposed President Mohamed Bazoum.
