Niger Political Instability

Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso announce withdrawal from ECOWAS

The leaders of the three Sahel nations say it is a "sovereign decision" to leave the Economic Community of West African States "immediately." The regimes have had tense relations with ECOWAS since coups in Niger last July. They accuse the grouping of failing to help them fight jihadists who have swept into Mali since 2012.
