Niger junta's 3-year transition plan is a 'provocation,' says West African regional bloc
Thursday, 24 August 2023 The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has rejected the proposal by Niger's mutinous soldiers for a three-year transition to democratic rule. Ecowas has described the slow timeline as a provocation and stated that the coup in Niger is one coup too many for the region.
