West Africa’s fractured regional bloc on Sunday urged Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye to engage with the three military-led member states to try to reunite the region whose stability has been threatened since they decided to leave the group in January.

At its summit in the Nigerian capital Abuja , the bloc – known as ECOWAS – named Mr Faye as its envoy to meet with Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, which formed their separate union after their respective coups severed relations with their neighbours.

The terms of the dialogue were not immediately specified. The Senegalese president, who became Africa’s youngest leader after his election victory in March, “has all the qualifications required to serve as a facilitator ,” Omar Alieu Touray, president of the ECOWAS Commission, said at the summit.

The three countries affected by the coup had already declared at their summit the day before that they had “irrevocably turned their backs on ECOWAS” . This is the first time in its nearly 50-year history that ECOWAS has lost members in this way.
