High Treason For Bazoum: “Stop Provoking Us” – ECOWAS Warns Niger Junta
Niger’s military says it will prosecute deposed President Mohamed Bazoum for treason, hours after a group of senior Islamic scholars said the country’s coup leaders are open to diplomacy to resolve their standoff with West Africa’s regional bloc
ECOWAS has learnt with stupefaction, attempts to bring charges of high treason against H.E. Mohamed BAZOUM, President of the Republic of Niger.
ECOWAS condemns this move as it represents yet another form of provocation and contradicts the reported willingness of the military authorities in the Republic of Niger to restore constitutional order through peaceful means.
President BAZOUM remains the democratically-elected President of the Republic of Niger recognized by ECOWAS and the international community.
ECOWAS condemns his illegal detention and calls for his immediate release and reinstatement.
