ECOWAS denies outside interference in Niger’s political crisis..
On Monday, Abdel-Fatau Musah said this on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily..
After the military deposed and jailed President Mohamed Bazoum on July 26th, the West African bloc is attempting to restore political stability in Niger.
ECOWAS met with West African military and defense officials on Thursday in Ghana to discuss an armed intervention to stop a coup. Many believe they are being influenced by foreign interests..
However, Musah claims that external assistance is not being considered by the West African group. The ambassador stated that even if force is necessary to overthrow the Junta, the nations providing support on the ground, including ECOWAS, will remain neutral and not make any decisions..
