Several left and people’s organizations in West Africa have condemned the threat issued by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to militarily intervene with the backing of #France and the #US to restore the unpopular Mohamed Bazoum to #Niger’s presidency.
The West African Peoples’ Organization (WAPO) has “vehemently opposed” the ultimatum by #ECOWAS Heads of States on July 30 to “take all measures necessary,” including “the use of force,” if the ousted president and his government is not restored by Sunday, August 6.
This decision of ECOWAS is “a maneuver by colonial France and #GB, under the hegemony of American #imperialism, to resort to armed intervention under the guise of restoring #democracy and #human-rights in Niger,” #WAPO said in a statement on Wednesday, August 2.
