Concerned about ECOWAS Sanctions on the Niger-Nigeria Border
Now people's opinions are divided about the issue of imposing sanctions on Niger by the ECOWAS countries on the Niger-Nigeria border in the city of N'Konni, where some believe that it will be effective, while others say that ECOWAS is chewing gravel. is to give fear.
City of Birni N'Konni, is the capital city in the Republic of Niger closest to an ECOWAS country, being only 500 meters between the Niger Security Forces and their Nigerian counterparts at this border of City N'Konni in Tahoua state and local government Illela has joined Nigeria.
Since the meeting of the leaders of the ECOWAS last week in Abuja, the leaders have decided to impose sanctions on the Republic of Niger and give the soldiers who took power from Mohamed Bazoum one week to return him to his seat. , opinions began to conflict with each other about the effectiveness or otherwise of locking the borders of ECOWAS countries and Niger.
Some Nigerians who are doing business at the border, said that the restrictions on entry and exit in Niger can affect the economy of the two countries and their communities.
However, according to an analyst of current events, the threat of banning stone chewing is only to scare people, because it will not have any effect.
The traders from Niger who enter Nigeria and bring food to Niger, that they have imposed restrictions can put the people of Niger and also Nigerians in this area in a problem.
Malam Maman Hassan is an economist, and he said that there are problems that can arise as soon as sanctions are imposed on Niger as threatened by ECOWAS.
Now the borders of Niger are closed, while people are watching to see what will happen after this threat by ECOWAS and the integration of West African countries.
