The recent coup in Niger is a major test of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), one of the most important organizations in Africa.
Efforts at mediation have so far failed, with Niger missing an ECOWAS-installed deadline of restoring Bazoum to office within a week and the bloc rejecting a junta proposal to return to democracy in three years.
“All we are saying is that we are not going to engage in endless dialogue,” said Abdel-Fatau Musah, ECOWAS’s commissioner for political affairs, peace and security. “It must be fruitful, and its objective must be the restoration of constitutional order” as quickly as possible.The situation is complicated by the fact that three other members of the 15-member ECOWAS are suspended as they have had their own military coups in recent years.
