Burkina Faso has launched new biometric passports without the logo of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on their cover, Reuters reported.
This development further signalled the deterioration of relations between the bloc and estranged Sahelian nations.
On 28 January, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger – all led by military juntas – announced that they were exiting ECOWAS. Their announcement followed ECOWAS sanctions imposed on the three countries following successful military coups and the threat of military force to dislodge putschists in Niger.
