LIVE: Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso Rule Out Return to ECOWAS | Firstpost Africa
Welcome to Firstpost Africa with Alyson Le Grange. We are live from Durban, South Africa.
The West African bloc ECOWAS has warned the region faced “disintegration” after the military rulers of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso quit the regional grouping and formed a breakaway union. The three countries formed a “Confederation of Sahel States” at a meeting on the eve of the Economic Community of West African States leaders’ summit. Niger's military leader said the country's people have irrevocably turned their backs on ECOWAS. ECOWAS is reeling with sweeping Islamist violence, financial trouble, and challenges mustering a regional force. Junta-led Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso have turned to Russia to counter the regional challenges.
