ECOWAS to use force in Niger when diplomacy fails

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Friday said it will have no option  but to deploy its standby force in Niger when diplomacy totally  fails in the process of restoring democracy in the troubled francophone country. 

President of the sub-regional bloc Omar Touray explained that ECOWAS  stands for the restoration of constitutional order in all member countries. 

Touray told a press conference in Abuja that it was not too late for the junta in Niger led by General Abdourahmane Tchiani to reconsider their action and return President Mohammed Bazoum to power. 

According to him, the decision for military action was reached by the Heads of States and government only after the Unitarian diplomacy failed.

ECOWAS has not neither declared war on the people of Niger nor is there a plan, as it is being purported to “invade the country,” Touray added. 

He noted that preparations continue towards making the force (ECOWAS) Sandby Force) for deployment. 

“The technical arm of the decision making organ, which include the committee of the chiefs of defence staff have also been directed to prepare the community enforcement mechanism in case it becomes compelling to deploy the force,” the ECOWAS president said. 

Following the coup on July 26, ECOWAS imposed several sanctions on the francophone country, including cutting off electricity  supply, to compel the military leaders to reinstate the ousted President.

The Niger junta has however defiantly refused to yield to entreaties and diplomatic pressure to reinstate President Bazoum despite a seven-day ultimatum that was handed down by the sub-regional bloc.
