The possibility of a military deployment commissioned by ECOWAS into Niger to reinstate the ousted President Mohamed Bazoum remained firmly on the table during a landmark meeting in Accra on Friday, August 18, 2023.
ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, Abdel-Fatau Musah said that the intent is not to declare war on Niger.
Abdel-Fatau Musah acknowledged that the ECOWAS mission may undertake renewed talks in Niger as an attempt to seek a peaceful resolution on Saturday, August 19.
