Ivory Coast and Ghana’s leaders have called for Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to rejoin ECOWAS after their exit due to military coups between 2020 and 2023.

On Wednesday, President Alassane Ouattara of Ivory Coast and President John Dramani Mahama of Ghana urged Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to reintegrate into the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). These nations have been governed by military juntas following coups that occurred from 2020 to 2023 and subsequently withdrew from ECOWAS at the end of January.

In summary, the leaders of Ivory Coast and Ghana are advocating for the return of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to the ECOWAS, emphasizing the importance of unity among West African nations following recent military takeovers.
