Burkina Faso and Mali Will Send a Military Team to Niger
The country of Mali said that it will send a team in cooperation with Burkina Faso to emphasize their support for the soldiers who made a coup in Niger.
The BBC reports that the announcement is coming after the Niger Army ignored the Ecowas order to return power to the deposed president.
Niger's army has announced the closure of its airspace and country's borders, and said they are ready to defend their country.
The leaders of the ECOWAS group are divided on taking military action against Niger, although it is the last step the group will take.
Nigeria and Ivory Coast are at the forefront of emphasizing the need to return President Bazoum to the leadership of the country.
However, the leaders of the military governments of Mali and Burkina Faso have shown their support for the Niger Army, and they have said that they will engage those who are fighting against ECOWAS to attack Niger.
