ECOWAS approves military intervention in Niger


West African bloc ECOWAS has approved military intervention in Niger “as soon as possible”, to remove its military rulers following last month’s coup, Ivory Coast’s President Alassane Ouattara said Thursday.

“The Chiefs of Staff will have other conferences to finalize things but they have the agreement of the Conference of Heads of State for the operation to start as soon as possible,” said Ouattara as he returned from an emergency ECOWAS summit.
