Coup d'etat: Ecowas suspends mali

The Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS), a regional group of sixteen countries, with a mission to promote economic integration among its states, today suspended Mali from all decision making, pending when the military junta returns the country to democracy. The African Union (AU) already suspended Mali last week.

You will all recall that Malian soldiers went on state TV last week Thursday March 22nd to declare that they had suspended the nation’s constitution and seized power in a coup after the government failed to quell a nomad-led rebellion in the north.

  2. Don't really think Mali will care. They probably haven't gained much from being in ECOWAS.

  4. Linda you need to be more well read especially before uploading a news item. ECOWAS is made up of 15 Member States and not 16. Please correct.Have a nice day.

  6. The plane carrying the 4 African Presidents on their way to Mali was turned back because of demonstrators at the airport.
    They were shouting "Shame on ECOWAS. Mali is for us."
    "There was not enough security, so we are going back to Abidjan." "The meeting is now going to be held at the Abidjan airport."

    So Blaise Compraore was one of the 4? Same goon who killed Thomas Sankara? Pots and kettles.
