‘You’re Provoking Us’ — ECOWAS Warns Niger Coup Leaders Over Plan To Prosecute Ousted President For Treason

 

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has cautioned the military junta in Niger Republic over its decision to prosecute Mohamed Bazoum, the country’s ousted president, for treason and undermining the internal and external security of the country.

The junta which has been holding sway since July 26 when it overthrew the government has defied all ECOWAS directives on the return of democracy and even deployed military generals as governors in the country.

But in a statement on Monday shared on its Twitter page, ECOWAS described the development as a provocation.

The West African bloc maintained that it will never recognize any leader of the country, except Bazoum.

Th statement reads, “ECOWAS has learned with stupefaction attempts to bring charges of high treason against H.E. Mohamed BAZOUM, President of the Republic of Niger.

“ECOWAS condemns this move as it represents yet another form of provocation and contradicts the reported willingness of the military authorities in the Republic of Niger to restore constitutional order through peaceful means.

“President BAZOUM remains the democratically-elected President of the Republic of Niger recognized by ECOWAS and the international community.

“ECOWAS condemns his illegal detention and calls for his immediate release and reinstatement.”

  1. Hello talkagblog.com Webmaster!

    Cool website!

    My name’s Eric, and I just found your site – talkagblog.com – while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

    But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across talkagblog.com, what usually happens?

    Is your site generating leads for your business?

    I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

    Not good.

    Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to “raise their hand” to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, “call me now.”

    You can –

    Web Visitors Into Leads is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally looking over your site.

    CLICK HERE http://jumboleadmagnet.com to try out a Live Demo with Web Visitors Into Leads now to see exactly how it works.

    Time is money when it comes to connecting with leads – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later can be huge – like 100 times better!

    That’s why we built out our new SMS Text With Lead feature… because once you’ve captured the visitor’s phone number, you can automatically start a text message (SMS) conversation.

    Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.

    Wouldn’t that be cool?
