The junta “strongly” condemned the “illegal” sanctions, recalled its ambassadors in West Africa and closed its land and air borders with the ECOWAS countries. 

This region of Africa believed itself to be free of the putsch.

In less than 18 months, she saw 2 young officers overthrow old “elected” presidents in Mali and then in Guinea. 

What will be the impact of these sanctions in Mali?

Will the junta give in to the pressure?

What about Guinea and Chad?

Will the transitions in this region turn into dictatorships?
