Níger espera la respuesta de la Cedeao al expirar fecha límite

August 8, 2023 - El bloque regional de África Occidental Cedeao (ECOWAS por sus siglas en inglés) se reunirá el jueves para discutir los próximos pasos luego de que la junta milita de Níger desafió una fecha límite para reincorporar al presidente depuesto de la nación.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) had told leaders of the July 26 coup to stand down by Sunday or face a possible military intervention.

But the junta, under self-declared head of state General Abdourahamane Tiani, former commander of Niger's presidential guard, instead closed the airspace and pledged to defend the country.

The bloc has not directly responded but said on Monday it would hold the Thursday summit to discuss the standoff, a decision the European Union and United States said allowed more time for mediation, according to Reuters.
