Niger's military leader refused to meet with the ECOWAS delegation
The ECOWAS delegation left Niger without meeting the military leader who seized power in a coup d'état, while the promise given by the West African Union to the military to hand over power to Mohamed Bazoum is coming to fruition.
The delegation of the West African Economic Development Organization arrived in Yamai, the capital of the country on Thursday, but did not spend the night there as planned, and did not get to see the leader of the coup Abdourahamane Tiani or the deposed president Mohamed Bazoum.
The delegation was led by the former president of Nigeria, Abdulsalami Abubakar, and earlier it was scheduled to meet with Tiani to present the needs of ECOWAS as the Nigerian presidency said.
Nigeria, the largest in the region, holds the presidency of the ECOWAS group, which imposed sanctions on Niger last Sunday and gave the leaders of the coup a week to return Bazoum to the throne.
Flexibility
However, the president of Nigeria Bola Tinubu said that the group will do its best to resolve the conflict in cold water, although the ECOWAS group said that it can take military action as a last resort if the military shows resistance.
While the government of Niger has warned that anyone who tells her to close, she will say cas.
