ECOWAS cancels emergency meeting on 'standby' force; Tensions suffuse West Africa | Oneindia News

An emergency meeting of West African nations on the coup in Niger has been postponed indefinitely as concerns over the health of detained President Mohammed Bazoum increase. Members of the Economic Cooperation of West African Nations (ECOWAS) were due to meet in the Ghanaian capital, Accra, on Saturday to discuss how to tackle the Niger crisis after they approved the deployment of a stand-by force to restore constitutional order. But they later said that it had been suspended indefinitely for "technical reasons". #Nigercoup #ECOWASemergencymeeting #ECOWASstandbyforce ~HT.99~PR.153~ED.194~
