Breaking! ECOWAS Rejects Junta’s Request for Three Years Tenure in Niger

The Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) on Monday rejected the demand for a three year tenure before returning Niger to democratic rule which was made by the Abdourahaemaene Tchiani led military government.
ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, Abdel-Fatau Musah, stated this during an interview with the BBC on Sunday. He said, “ECOWAS is not accepting any prolonged transition again in the region. They just have to get ready to hand over in the shortest possible time.” “The earlier they give power back to civilians and concentrate on their primary responsibility that is defending the territorial integrity of Niger, the better for them.”
