The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) says that it is taking several steps to address the growing trend of unconstitutional changes in governments across the sub-region.
The President of ECOWAS, Omar Alieu Touray said that his outfit has robust regulations on the constitutional change of government and has been implementing the provisions of their mandate regarding unconstitutional changes.
In an exclusive interview on JoyNews, Mr Touray acknowledged that ECOWAS is aware of some criticisms and is actively incorporating them, emphasising that the criticism has helped them refocus and improve.
“So I don’t think anybody can face insecurity alone. That has been proven all over the world. So that is why it is important we all stay together and face the challenge that is facing the region.”
His remarks come after the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) issued an alert, warning of the potential for more unconstitutional changes of governments in other Member States by the military.
