Presidents of Ivory Coast and Ghana call for Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to rejoin ECOWAS following their withdrawal after recent coups. This appeal highlights the importance of regional unity and stability in West Africa.

In a recent statement, Presidents Alassane Ouattara of Ivory Coast and John Dramani Mahama of Ghana urged Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to rejoin the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). This appeal comes after military juntas seized power in these countries following coups that occurred between 2020 and 2023. The juntas subsequently withdrew from ECOWAS at the end of January, prompting a call for their reintegration into the regional bloc.

Presidents Ouattara and Mahama’s appeal reflects a commitment to regional unity and stability within West Africa. The rejoining of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to ECOWAS is viewed as essential for collective security and cooperation, particularly following the recent political upheaval in these nations.
