According to ECOWAS: “The ECOWAS Commission’s attention has been drawn to a report of a so-called ECOWAS transition proposal timeframe for Niger.
“The report, which is in French and supposedly carried by AFP, is false, and should be treated as fake news.
“The demand of the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government is clear: the military authorities in Niger must restore constitutional order immediately by liberating and reinstating H.E. Excellency President Mohamed Bazoum.”
