From now to any time we can invade Niger - ECOWAS
ECOWAS has agreed to the final step of the possible use of military force to restore democracy in Niger after the overthrow of the country's president, Mohammed Bazoum, and his detention last month.
The West African Economic Development Organization agreed on Friday that it will deploy security forces as a last resort if diplomatic efforts fail, without specifying when that would happen.
"We are ready to enter the country whenever this order is given," said ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security Abdel-Fatau Musah during the closing ceremony of a two-day meeting of West African military chiefs in the capital Accra. the country of Ghana.
"The last day to enter the country has also been decided. We have already agreed and agreed on the things that will be needed to intervene," he said, stressing that ECOWAS is seeking a peaceful settlement with the leaders of the Niger army.
The security chiefs of the group met to coordinate information on the possibility of a military operation to restore Bazoum if the talks with the leaders of the coup failed.
Most of the 15 ECOWAS member states are ready to contribute to the joint force, with the exception of Cape Verde and those under military rule - Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea, according to an official of the group.
