Niger coup: West African leaders threaten military intervention

.....Niger is playing a key role in fighting terrorism. If Niger stop playing this role this will give more space and more leeway to terrorists to expand in the region," Dr Leonardo Santos Simao told BBC's Newshour programme. He added that "no official negotiations" were taking place between Ecowas and the country's military junta. This is the first time Ecowas has threatened military action to reverse the coups that have taken place in the region in recent years."
