ECOWAS is currently carrying out consultations, internally and with Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, after their announcement on Sunday January 28 to leave the organization. In Mali, the coordination of the February 20 Appeal, which brings together political parties and civil society movements, denounces an “illegitimate” and “without consultation ” decision.
Opposition organizations note “the absence of any prior consultation ’ and therefore describe this decision as “ blackmail”
