 ECOWAS must re-examine its relations with Western countries - Tunis

The spokesperson of the ECOWAS Council, Sidie Tunis, said that the organization needs to re-examine its relationship with the Western countries after the series of coups that member countries faced.

The coup d'état that happened in the countries of West Africa has created a rift among the members of the ECOWAS group where there was a division especially about taking action on Niger, the most recent country where the coup took place.

In an interview with the Nigerian newspaper Premium Times, the president of the ECOWAS Council, Mr Tunis, said that the events that followed the military coup in Niger revealed how the western countries have so far been showing their power and giving special attention to the affairs of African countries. those who colonized the country.

On the 26th of August, the security officers of the presidential palace in Niger, led by Abdourahamane Tchiani, overthrew the government of President Bazoum Mohamed.

Mr Tunis said that it is necessary for ECOWAS to re-examine its relationship with the western countries, especially between France and the countries that it couped, noting how hatred and hatred continue to heat up between the two parties.

The spokesperson of the ECOWAS Council stated that if the relationship between France and the countries it colonized continues to be as it is now, there is no doubt that West Africa will continue to see many problems.

After the deterioration of relations between France and the countries of Mali and Burkina Faso, the situation is more serious in Niger where it is now being discussed how Paris will withdraw its 1,500 troops in Yamai, after the intensification of the protests of the citizens looking for the exit of the French in the country.
