The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Parliament finds itself at odds regarding the appropriate response to the recent Niger coup.
Within ECOWAS, a divergent range of opinions has emerged concerning potential military intervention against the Niger junta, reflecting a nuanced stance on the matter.
A virtual extraordinary session convened on Saturday, drawing participation from twenty-two parliamentarians, aimed to deliberate upon the ongoing political crisis in Niger Republic.
During the session, disparate viewpoints were voiced; while a faction of the parliamentarians advocated for a diplomatic approach and open dialogue, an opposing faction pressed for more assertive measures to curtail the escalating dominance of military governance across the region.
Further details will be forthcoming as the situation develops.
