Niger coup: Country hit with more sanctions as junta rejects negotiation, ECOWAS to hold summit on Thursday

Niger's military junta has refused the latest diplomatic attempt to reinstall the  country's ousted president Mohamed Bazoum. Military leaders rejected attempts by US officials on Monday and said a firm No to a proposed visit by ECOWAS representatives the African Union and the UN. In the meantime Niger has been slapped with more sanctions. West African leaders are to hold a further summit on the crisis on Thursday. FRANCE 24's international affairs editor Oliver Farry gives his analysis. Source link
