The chiefs of staff of the ECOWAS countries are meeting in Abuja to discuss the recent Coup in Niger. West African leaders condemned the coup and gave the coup leaders a week to restore the ousted President Mohamed Bazoum. The meeting of the chiefs of staff was announced during an extraordinary summit held on Sunday. Burkina Faso and Mali, neighboring countries of Niger, expressed solidarity with the coup leaders and warned against any military intervention to restore Bazoum, stating it would be considered a declaration of war and result in their withdrawal from ECOWAS.
