A delegation from the West African economic bloc, ECOWAS , over the weekend, met Niger’s ousted president, as they are seeking a peaceful solution after a coup by army officers.
According to a source close to the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas), Mohamed Bazoum was in good spirits but still detained and without electricity. Bazoum, along with his family, has been held at the presidential residence since the coup, causing international concern about his conditions.
The Ecowas delegation, led by former Nigerian leader Abdulsalami Abubakar, engaged in talks with the officers who took power from Bazoum. The delegation aimed to convey a message of firmness to the army officers and meet Bazoum to address the crisis.
